I. Molecular Formula: Ca(OH)₂
 

II. Molecular Weight: 74.096
 

III. Physical and Chemical Properties:

White powder, odorless, tasteless. This product is a strong alkaline substance with irritant and corrosive effects. Inhalation of its dust can cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract and may lead to chemical pneumonia. Eye contact causes strong irritation and can result in burns. Accidental fall into a slaked lime pool can cause extensive corrosive burns. Long-term exposure may lead to dermatitis and ulcerative dermatitis.
 

IV. Characteristics and Uses

Used as a chemical raw material, additive, auxiliary agent, filler in tanning, metallurgy, coatings, food, pharmaceuticals, feed, etc. It is involved in the manufacturing of organic chemical products such as epichlorohydrin, glyphosate, and calcium-based lubricating grease, as well as in the synthesis of high-grade organic calcium compounds like calcium stearate (used as a stabilizer and lubricant for various types of PVC), calcium naphthenate (used as a drier in varnishes, adhesives, etc.), pesticide emulsifiers, organic phosphorus, pesticides, and additives like calcium lactate and calcium citrate. It is also widely used in the sewage treatment industry. Due to current national environmental policies, the cost of disposing sludge produced after sewage treatment is extremely high, so most sewage treatment enterprises opt for high-quality industrial-grade products.
