About Hydrated Lime (Calcium Hydroxide) Industrial Grade

Hydrated Lime (Calcium Hydroxide) is a fine, white powder widely used in industrial applications such as water purification, soil stabilization, and construction mortars. It acts as a strong alkaline agent to adjust pH, reduce water acidity, and precipitate dissolved metals during water treatment processes. In construction, hydrated lime improves mortar workability and reduces shrinkage cracks in plaster and cement. This product is delivered in durable 25 kg bags to facilitate handling and storage for industrial users. Finstar Chemicals ensures product quality and consistent supply suitable for buyers in Kenya and neighboring regions. Procurement teams benefit from batch traceability and reliable documentation to meet industrial quality standards. Safe handling involves storing hydrated lime in a cool, dry environment away from moisture to prevent caking and chemical degradation. Its widespread use in municipal water treatment plants and civil engineering projects makes it essential for industries seeking effective pH control and material strength enhancement.
