the chemical formula Ca(OH)2.<br \/>\n* It is a colourless crystal or white powder and is obtained when calcium oxide (lime or quicklime) is mixed, or \u2018slaked\u2019 with water.<br \/>\n* Calcium hydroxide is used in many applications, including food preparation.<br \/>\n* One significant application of calcium hydroxide is as a flocculant, in water and sewage treatment.<br \/>\n* It is also used in fresh water treatment for raising the pH of the water so pipes will not corrode where the base water is acidic; hydrated lime is self-regulating and does not raise the pH too much.<\/p>\n<p>**Hydrated lime has many other applications:**<br \/>\n* As an ingredient in whitewash, mortar, and plaster In road construction, to improve the quality of excessively plastic subgrade soils.<br \/>\n* As a long-lasting fungicide In the petroleum refining industry for the manufacture of additives to oils.<br \/>\n* In the chemical industry for manufacture of calcium stearate.<br \/>\n* For preparation of dry mixes for painting and decorating.<br \/>\n* In manufacturing mixes for pesticides, and as a natural insecticide.<br \/>\nLead Time<br \/>\n* Standard Lead time: 3
