• Bulk Density: 0.8 – 1.2 g/cm³
• Thermal Stability: Up to 2570°C
• Solubility: Insoluble in water
• Odor: Odorless
• Cultivation Type: Natural

These physical and chemical attributes make it suitable for a wide array of industrial operations where consistency, high-temperature resistance, and purity are essential

Applications of Quick Lime Powder Across Industries:

1. Water Treatment and Environmental Safety

Quick Lime Powder is widely used in municipal and industrial water treatment to:

• Neutralize acidic wastewater
• Remove heavy metals
• Control odor and sludge stabilization
• Assist in flocculation and coagulation processes

It’s a highly effective and cost-efficient solution for improving water quality and environmental compliance.

2. Food Industry and Chemical Purification

• In food-grade form, Calcium Oxide is used as:
• An acidity regulator
• A firming agent for fruits and vegetables

A pH adjuster in the manufacture of food preservatives and beverages

Its chemical-grade counterpart plays a critical role in:

• Production of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime)
• Chemical synthesis and reactions
• Neuzralizing industrial by-products

3. Steel and Metallurgy

Quick Lime is indispensable in steel manufacturing, where it serves to:

• Remove impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus
• Enhance slag fluidity
• Improve quality and yield of finished steel products

The high thermal stability (up to 2570°C) of our product from Akash Acid and Chemical ensures it performs under extreme furnace conditions.

4. Construction and Building Materials

Used in the production of:

• Fly ash bricks
• Cement and mortar
• Soil stabilization and road construction

Quick Lime Powder improves binding properties, durability, and structural integrity.

• Packaged securely to prevent moisture contact and degradation
• Supplied with technical documentation (MSDS, COA)
• Available in custom bulk orders for large industrial needs

Our team ensures you receive a product that not only meets your specification but also delivers consistent reactivity and performance.

Storage and Handling Best Practices

To preserve quality, Quick Lime should be:

• Stored in dry, sealed containers
• Kept away from moisture, as CaO reacts exothermically with water
• Handled with gloves and masks to avoid skin and respiratory irritation
• Stored in cool, well-ventilated areas

Our packaging includes industrial-grade liners and moisture-proof barriers to ensure a long shelf life and maximum usability.

Safety Measures During Use

• Quick Lime Powder must be handled responsibly:
• Always use protective clothing, goggles, and respiratory masks
• In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical help
• Never mix directly with water in large amounts—controlled dilution is necessary
• Avoid inhalation of dust; use local exhaust ventilation where needed

Akash Acid and Chemical provides detailed Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) with every shipment for your team’s protection.
