Hydrated Lime/Slaked Lime/Calcium Hydroxide

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 a chemical, with chemical formula Ca(OH)2 {Calcium Hydroxide}. Hydrated Lime is also known as Slaked Lime. It is white and in powder form with Ca(OH)2 contents varying from 96% to 70%.
