455 grams Hydrated - Calcium Hydroxide Powder
Applications
Due to its strong basic properties, the calcium hydroxide has many and varied applications:

It serves as a flocculating agent in water treatment and wastewater * ingredient is a paint, mortar, plaster, asphalt and lime used in limewash for construction and asphalt;
Replaces the sodium hydroxide hair straighteners;
It is a depilatory agent found in Nair;
It is a calcium supplement in tonics formulations for babies;
It is a chemical reagent, that serves to ionize copper
In the Bordeaux mixture to neutralize the solution and form a long-lasting fungicidal;
Agriculture, soil acidity correction.
In aquariums, allowing the existence of calcium for animals that need it, such as algae, snails, invertebrates with tube shapes and corals, as well as increasing the alkalinity.
In the tanning industry, for the neutralization of acids and treatment of leather and skins in addition to join the flocculation process in waste water from the production process;
In the petroleum refining industry for the production of additives and oils;
In the chemical industry for production of calcium stearate;
In the chemical industry, due to its alkalinity and low cost, it serves as an additive for various chemical processes.
In the food industry, participating in water processing (for alcoholic and soft drinks);
In the refining of sugar, to separate it from cane sugar;
In processing "lutefisk" Norwegian. The dried cod is soaked with a mixture of calcium hydroxide and caustic soda to produce a robust and soft fish fillet that is cooked or baked and served with potato lefse;
In brines cleaning calcium carbonate and magnesium salt in the production of food and pharmacopeia;
In the Indian and Latin American cuisines, in which calcium hydroxide is called "lime." During preparation with lime, corn suffers nixtamalization, which increases its nutritional value, improves taste and facilitates your digestion;
In moeção betel nut or coca leaves, in which it is often added to chemically absorb the stimulating alkaloids present in plants. It was also used by native Americans (that obtained through burning shells) in tobacco moeção, in order to enhance its effects;
As a "charge":
In the petrochemical industry, for the solid oil production of various brands;
In the production of brakes;
In the production of ebonite;
In the preparation of solid mixtures for paint and decoration;
In the production of mixes for pesticides;
In the production of Polikar compound, an antifungal and antimicrobial preservative for storage of vegetables;
In dentistry, the calcium hydroxide can be found in many dental preparations, especially for root canal filling. It is used as liner for dental restorations and as dressing used due to being biocompatible and have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial actions, in addition to stimulating the formation of mineralized bone tissue and contribute to the tissue repair process. It also has great importance in Endodontics and is used in cases of living and necrotic pulps, apexification, apicegênese, dental trauma and internal and external root resorption.
In medicine to treat burns with acids and as antacid .;
It can be used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture. The lime water reacts with CO2 to form calcium carbonate, which is insoluble and precipitates immediately;
It is suggested that large quantities of calcium hydroxide are thrown into the sea to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thereby addressing the greenhouse;
It is used as a quencher acid in the production of metals. Cal is injected into the stream of discarded gas to neutralize acids as fluorides and chlorides, which were released into the atmosphere;
In the beauty industry, calcium hydroxide is used in creams to permanently straighten curly hair.
