QUICK LIME

Quick Lime more formally as Calcium Oxide is an odorless white or pale gray powder produced by heating limestone in specially designed kilns. It is a very stable compound and withstands high temperatures. 

The great thing about slake or quick lime is that it mixes with carbon Dioxide in the air, gives us its water and reverts to limestone. 

As another significant advantage it dries very slowly and as a result does not crack and even if a crack appears it self-heals as, gets in and the crack seals as it reverts to limestone.

Thanks to its high calcium content Quick lime has many capabilities.

What follows are some industrial applications of Quick Lime:

• Cement and Mortar manufacturing
• Paper and high grade steel
• Porcelain and Glass manufacturing
• Sugar Purifying
• Water softener
• Fertilizer in agriculture
