Hydrated Lime Powder

Hydrated Lime Powder, also known as Calcium Hydroxide, is a white, odorless powder with chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is manufactured by adding water to quicklime, which is calcium oxide (CaO). The resulting reaction produces calcium hydroxide and heat. Hydrated Lime Powder is widely used in various industries such as construction, agriculture, food, and chemical.
