Lime Types
Lime, often referred to as hydrated lime, slaked lime, or calcium hydroxide, is a key industrial material offered by ATDM Company. As a reliable calcium oxide supplier, we provide lime in various forms, including powder, bulk, and multiple mesh sizes. Lime is largely insoluble in water, though a small amount dissolves to create a highly alkaline solution. This high-density material settles in water, acting as a pH booster and an effective additive in water-based and oil-based drilling mud.
Lime Applications
Lime serves a crucial role in many industries due to its unique chemical properties. It is extensively used in steel and iron production, petrochemical processing, and glass manufacturing. Industries like leather tanning, porcelain production, resin making, and color manufacturing also rely on lime. Additionally, lime enhances agricultural soil, supports road paving, and aids in cement production. Its applications extend to sewage treatment, food enrichment for birds and pets, ceramics, and coal mining. Lime’s significance in drilling industries, particularly in mud formulations, highlights its versatility. ATDM Company supplies high-quality lime to meet diverse industry demands.
Lime Specifications
Lime is available in varying purities, mesh sizes, and specifications, catering to a range of industrial needs. ATDM Company ensures that our lime products meet the highest standards of quality. With a density of approximately 2.2 and a pH of 12.4, lime serves as a cost-effective source of alkalinity and calcium. Moreover, it works efficiently as a salinity reducer or density enhancer in various solutions. Lime’s solubility is minimal—around 0.165 grams per 100 ml of water at 20°C. When it hydrates, lime expands, making it suitable for use in drilling mud and other industrial processes.
Lime Standards
Due to lime’s widespread industrial use, tailored packaging options are essential. Therefore, ATDM Company offers lime in moisture-resistant 25 kg sacks, which are securely packed on pallets to ensure safe transport. These standards make shipping efficient and reliable. Lime, being environmentally safe, is a sustainable solution for many applications. ATDM Company supplies lime products globally, adhering to stringent certifications and delivering superior quality at competitive prices. As a leading calcium oxide supplier, we export lime to markets worldwide, ensuring customer satisfaction with every shipment.
