Hydrated Lime (Calcium Hydroxide) is a premium quality, soft white powder obtained through the process of mixing calcium oxide (quicklime) with water. This highly reactive chemical compound, also known as slaked lime or pickling lime, has a plethora of uses across various industries. At Rublev Colours, we offer our customers the highest grade of Type S hydrated lime, adhering to the stringent standards of ASTM C 206 and ASTM C 207.

The properties of our Hydrated Lime make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. With its high early plasticity, high water-retentivity, limited oxide content, and minimal coarse fraction, this product enhances the performance of mortar and plaster. Artisans will appreciate its suitability for making traditional lime putty, milk paint, and limed rosin or liming other resins. Furthermore, it can be used to neutralize free fatty acids and remove water from unrefined drying oils, such as cold-pressed raw linseed oil, after washing with water to remove impurities.

It is essential to handle Hydrated Lime with caution, as it is highly alkaline and can cause skin and eye irritation. Protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and impervious clothing, must be worn when handling this product. Storage should be done in a well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances, and in a tightly closed container to prevent physical damage.

Our dedication to quality and safety ensures that our customers receive the best possible product. We take pride in providing accurate information about our Hydrated Lime, including its chemical properties, such as its 98% 325 Mesh fineness, 74.5% calcium oxide equivalent, and 95.0% total calcium hydroxide assay. With a pH level that can cause severe skin and eye irritation, it is crucial to follow proper handling and storage procedures to avoid any adverse effects.
