About Calcium Hydroxide (Hydrated Lime)

Calcium Hydroxide, also called hydrated lime, is a versatile chemical with widespread industrial applications. It is produced by hydrating quicklime (calcium oxide) and comes as a white powder or fine granules. This product is primarily used for pH control in water treatment plants to neutralize acidity and precipitate impurities. In construction, it acts as a binder in mortars and plasters improving workability and durability. Calcium Hydroxide is also essential in flue gas treatment to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from power plants. Handling requires care to avoid dust inhalation and skin contact, with storage recommended in cool, dry, ventilated areas to maintain product quality. The product is commonly packaged in 25 kg bags, matching industrial scale batch handling and efficient transport. Finstar Chemicals offers steady supply and expert technical support for procurement and implementation in East Africa, especially Kenya. Our product ensures consistent performance in water treatment, environmental compliance, and construction sectors. Procurement teams benefit from Finstar’s transparent documentation and batch testing, critical for regulatory and operational assurance. Using the correct grade helps prevent issues such as inconsistent setting time in construction or pH fluctuations in water treatment processes. Finstar Chemicals supplies industrial buyers with reliable Calcium Hydroxide suitable for multiple processes, enhancing operational efficiency and meeting local industry requirements.
