Hydrated Lime

High-purity alkalinity in a safe, ready-to-use dry powder. Chemically known as calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), hydrated lime is a dry, easy-to-handle white powder that has already completed the exothermic slaking process at the manufacturing facility, making it significantly safer to handle on-site than quicklime. In sugar production, this ready-to-use hydrated form eliminates on-site slaking, delivering consistent alkalinity for carbonatation and juice purification in refining operations.
