Builders' lime is hydrated lime You have your knickers in a twist. {:-(( The process of slaking quicklime is the process by which it is hydrated. Quicklime is calcium oxide. Hydrating it converts it into calcium hydroxide. Slaked lime, hydrated lime or builders' lime are all synonyms for calcium hydroxide. It is used very frequently indeed for correcting acidity in soils, as is powdered limestone, which is calcium carbonate. So we are as one even though we didn't know it lol. Merry Christmas Franz No, we are not even. You are wrong, pure and simple. Merry Christmas. Franz : : |
