Calcium Hydroxide BP/USP/EP/JP

Calcium Hydroxide EP

Appearance: White, odorless powder or fine granules. Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water. Forms a solution called limewater when mixed with water. pH: The pH of a 1% solution in water is typically around 12.4, indicating a strong alkaline nature. Melting Point: Decomposes at high temperatures, with a melting point of approximately 580C. Heavy Metals: The product complies with EP standards for heavy metal content, which should not exceed 0.001%. Loss on Drying: Less than 1.0%. Assay: The content of Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)) should be 95% to 105% of the labeled amount. Applications: Pharmaceuticals: Used in the formulation of antacids and as a mild antiseptic. Employed in the preparation of limewater (a 0.1% solution of Calcium Hydroxide in water). Food Industry: Used as a food additive (E526) in pickling, clarifying sugar, and as a pH regulator in various food products. Water Treatment: Used in water softening and wastewater treatment to neutralize acidity and to help precipitate impurities. Industrial Uses: Employed in flue gas desulfurization, chemical manufacturing, and soil stabilization. Packaging: Available in bulk packaging or sealed containers based on the required quantity. Storage: Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from moisture to prevent degradation.
