QUICK LIME POWDER
Quick Lime Powder, also known as Calcium Oxide (CaO), is a highly reactive and versatile industrial chemical widely used across multiple industries. Mahadev Minerals is a top QuickLimePowder manufacturer and supplier in India, offering consistent quality, high calcium content, and reliable pan-India supply.
Our quick lime powder is produced using carefully selected limestone and processed under controlled conditions to ensure maximum purity, high reactivity, and uniform particle size, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
What is Quick Lime Powder?
Quick lime powder is obtained by grinding Quick Lime Lumps till required mesh size is obtained as required bt the customers. Due to its strong alkaline nature and high chemical reactivity, quick lime plays a critical role in metallurgical, construction, environmental, and chemical processes.

Frequently asked questions
What mesh sizes are available of Quick Lime Powder?
We provide various gradations depending on client needs, ranging from 200 mesh to 300 mesh for fine powder requirements, as well as lump forms for specific kiln applications.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling Quicklime Powder?
Quicklime is a caustic material. Workers should use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including dust masks, safety goggles, and gloves. In case of skin or eye contact, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
How should Quick Lime Powder be stored to to maintain its quality?
Quicklime is highly hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture from the air). It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse in moisture-proof bags (HDPE) or airtight silos. Contact with water can trigger an exothermic reaction, generating significant heat.
In which industries is Quicklime Powder most commonly used?
QuickLime Powder is a versatile chemical used extensively in:
AAC Block Production: To provide the necessary thermal reaction for aeration.
Steel Manufacturing: As a flux to remove impurities like phosphorus and silica.
Water Treatment: For pH adjustment and sludge stabilization.
Chemical Industry: As a primary reagent in manufacturing various calcium-based chemicals.
What is the difference between Quicklime Powder and Hydrated Lime Powder?
Quicklime Powder is Calcium Oxide (CaO), produced by burning limestone. It is highly reactive with water. Hydrated Lime (Ca(OH)2) is the result of adding a specific amount of water to Quicklime to create a stable, dry powder.
