Hydrate lime is obtained when calcium oxide is mixed with water. Hydrate lime is available as hydrate lime crystal or hydrate lime powder. Our company is one of the prominent white hydrated lime manufacturers in India. Hydrate lime powder when mixed with acid it reacts violently and destroy metals in the presence of water. The solution of hydrate lime powder and water turns milky when carbon dioxide is passed through it. Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, hydrated lime, or pickling lime, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is a colourless crystal or white powder, and is obtained when calcium oxide (called lime or quicklime) is mixed, or "slaked" with water. It can also be precipitated by mixing an aqueous solution of calcium chloride and an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The name of the natural mineral is portlandite. When heated to 512°C, the partial pressureof water in equilibrium with calcium hydroxide reaches 101 kPa and decomposes into calcium oxide and water A suspension of fine calcium hydroxide particles in water is called milk of lime. The solution is called lime water and is a medium strength base that reacts violently with acids and attacks many metals in presence of water. It turns milky if carbon dioxide is passed through, due to precipitation of calcium carbonate.

It turns milky if carbon dioxide is passed through, due to precipitation of calcium carbonate. Uses Because of its strong basic properties, calcium hydroxide has many and varied uses:

• In the reef aquarium hobby for adding bio-available calcium in solution for calcium-using animals such as algae, snails, hard tube worms, and Corals (often referred to as Kalkwasser mix), and also to increase the alkalinity of the water.
• In the tanning industry for neutralization of acid, the liming of hides and skins and the flocculation of wastewater.
• In the petroleum refining industry for the manufacture of additives to oils (salicatic, sulphatic, fenatic)
• In the chemical industry for manufacture of calcium stearate
• In the food industry for processing water (for alcoholic and soft drinks)
• For clearing a brine of carbonates of calcium and magnesium in the manufacture of salt for food and pharmacopoeia
• In Native American and Latin American cooking, calcium hydroxide is called "cal". Corn cooked with cal becomes nixtamal which significantly increases its nutrition value, and is also considered tastier and easier to digest.
• In chewing Betel nut or coca leaves, calcium hydroxide is usually chewed alongside to keep the stimulants chemically available for absorption by the body
• Similarly, Native Americans traditionally chewed leaves with calcium hydroxide derived from burnt shells to enhance the effects

• In the petrochemical industry for manufacturing solid oil of various marks
• In the manufacture of brake pads
• In the manufacture of ebonite
• For preparation of dry mixes for painting and decorating
• In manufacturing mixes for pesticides
• In manufacturing the trademarked compound "Polikar", an antifungal and antimicrobial preservative for vegetables in storage
