Hydrated Lime Powder – Industrial Calcium Hydroxide
CAS: 1305-62-0
Molecular Formula: Ca(OH)2
Premium hydrated lime powder (calcium hydroxide) for water treatment, construction, pH control, and industrial applications. Bulk supply across South Africa.
Hydrated Lime Supplier in South Africa
Hydrated lime powder — also known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) or white hydrated lime — is a finely milled, high-purity chemical used in water purification, construction, industrial processing, and environmental applications.
BRF SA supplies industrial-grade hydrated lime powder with consistent quality and performance, backed by technical support and dependable delivery throughout South Africa and Southern Africa.
Hydrated lime’s reactive nature, alkalinity, and versatile applications make it essential for systems requiring pH control, impurity precipitation, sludge conditioning, and chemical stabilization.
What Is Hydrated Lime Powder?
Hydrated lime is calcium hydroxide — a white, fine, alkaline powder produced by adding water to quicklime (calcium oxide). The process yields a stable, reactive compound with strong alkalinity, used to neutralize acidity and support chemical reactions in water, soil, and industrial systems.
Hydrated lime is widely used because it:
- Raises pH efficiently
- Precipitates dissolved metals in water
- Improves soil workability in construction
- Conditions of sludge in wastewater treatment
Industrial & Commercial Applications
1. Water & Wastewater Treatment
Hydrated lime is used to adjust acidity, soften water, and precipitate contaminants such as heavy metals and phosphates.
2. Construction & Mortar Production
In construction, hydrated lime improves:
- Workability and cohesion of mortars
- Water retention in masonry mixes
- Plasticity of plaster and render formulations
3. pH Control & Chemical Neutralization
Hydrated lime is a strong alkaline agent used to neutralize acidic streams and maintain target pH in industrial processes.
4. Agriculture & Soil Conditioning
Used to amend acidic soils and enhance crop performance when applied according to agronomic recommendations.
5. Industrial Processes
Used in flue gas treatment, effluent conditioning, and manufacturing applications requiring alkali addition.
