High Purity & Versatile ApplicationsOur Calcium Hydroxide features a minimum purity of 96%, low moisture (0.5% max), and heavy metals content below 0.002% for food-grade quality. This ensures reliability in a wide range of applications, from water treatment and pH regulation to food additives and construction materials. Available in multiple particle sizes, it meets stringent industrial and safety standards.
Safe Handling & Optimal StorageWith its reactive alkaline nature, Calcium Hydroxide should be handled with care, particularly when mixing with acids or water due to heat release. Store in tightly closed containers at cool, dry, and well-ventilated locations to preserve product quality and extend its shelf life to up to 24 months.
FAQs of Calcium Hydroxide:
Q: How should Calcium Hydroxide be stored to maintain its quality?
A: Calcium Hydroxide should be kept in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture. Proper storage ensures product stability and maintains effectiveness for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: What are the main uses of Calcium Hydroxide in industry and daily life?
A: Calcium Hydroxide is used in water treatment, pH regulation, construction materials, chemical manufacturing, food additives, and sanitation processes. Its food-grade variant meets stringent purity standards, allowing it to be safely used in food processing and water purification.
Q: When does Calcium Hydroxide react vigorously, and what should be considered during handling?
A: Calcium Hydroxide reacts vigorously with acids and releases heat when mixed with water. During handling, appropriate safety measures, such as protective equipment and slow addition to liquids, should be adopted to prevent heat hazards and splashing.
Q: Where can Calcium Hydroxide be applied in water treatment processes?
A: In water treatment facilities, Calcium Hydroxide is used for softening water, removing impurities, and adjusting pH levels. Its ability to neutralize acids and precipitate dissolved metals makes it a valuable component in municipal and industrial water treatment systems.
Q: What is the benefit of using food-grade Calcium Hydroxide?
A: Food-grade Calcium Hydroxide contains very low levels of heavy metals and meets strict safety standards, making it suitable as a food additive, in beverage clarification, and for pH regulation where human consumption safety is critical.
Q: How does the particle size of Calcium Hydroxide influence its use?
A: Available in particle sizes ranging from 80 to 325 mesh, finer Calcium Hydroxide powders dissolve more readily and react faster, making them ideal for applications demanding rapid dispersion, such as in water treatment and food processing.
