Carmeuse Hydrated Lime (50 lb. Bag)

Unlock the ultimate in purity, performance, and versatility with Carmeuse Hydrated Lime. Also known as calcium hydroxide ($Ca(OH)_2$) or slaked lime, this premium, high-purity dry white powder is manufactured to the highest industry standards. Because it is pre-hydrated under highly controlled conditions, it is incredibly easy to handle, store, and apply.

From agriculture and construction to industrial water treatment, Carmeuse Hydrated Lime delivers consistent, rapid chemical reactions without generating the intense exothermic (reactive) heat associated with standard quicklime—making it much safer and simpler to use.

Key Features & Multi-Purpose Uses

  • Agricultural & Farm Sanitation: A staple for livestock and poultry management. Highly effective at neutralizing odors, suppressing flies, and disinfecting barn floors, stables, and animal bedding.

  • Soil Stabilization & pH Adjustment: Drastically improves load-bearing subgrade by reducing soil plasticity and moisture retention. It is also highly effective for raising soil pH in acidic soils to unlock essential plant nutrients.

  • Water & Wastewater Treatment: Works as a powerful chemical agent for pH control, acid neutralization, water softening, and heavy metal removal.

  • Masonry & Mortar Work: Provides exceptional workability, elasticity, and flexural bond strength when added to cements, stucco, and plasters.

  • Traditional Limewash & Paint: The classic choice for creating breathable, beautiful, and naturally antimicrobial white-wash coatings for brick homes, stone walls, and tree trunks.
