Hydrated Lime having higher percentage of Calcium Hydroxide (+90%) over low grade (65% Purity)Hydrated Lime : 1) REDUCED REACTION TIME : The rate of chemical reaction depends upon the degree of purity of the Chemical being used. Higher the purity , lesser would be the reaction time . 2) REDUCED CONSUMPTION : By Quantitative Analysis it is established that 1 M.T. of 90% grade Hydrated Lime is equivalent to 1.378 M.T. of 65% purity Grade . Thus there is a reduction of 37.8% in consumption. 3 ) REDUCED HANDLING COST ETC : By using this high purity material , handling charges inclusive manpower can be reduced by 37% due to reduction in consumption . This is a direct saving in labour cost by the same proportion.

Quicklime, more formally known as calcium oxide (CaO), is a caustic alkaline substance which is produced by heating limestone in specially designed kilns. There are a wide range of uses for quicklime, ranging from mortar to flux, and the substance has been used by humans for centuries. Many companies produce and sell quicklime, sometimes with specific chemical impurities which make it especially suitable to certain applications.
