Hydrated Lime

Hydrated lime (or calcium hydroxide, or slaked lime) is usually a dry powder resulting from the controlled slaking of quicklime with water. The exothermic or released heat of reaction is captured and used to evaporate the excess slaking water.

Hydrated Lime is used in many industries including the oil and gas industry. The chemical property of this solution has a neutralizing effect and it is used as an additive in the drilling fluids used in the petroleum refining industry.
