Ca(HO)2
ceramic· Ca(HO)2
Calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) is an inorganic ceramic compound commonly produced by hydrating calcium oxide, forming a white crystalline or amorphous solid. It is widely used in construction (concrete, mortar, and plaster), water treatment, soil stabilization, and chemical processing due to its alkalinity and ability to bind with carbon dioxide and siliceous materials. Engineers select it for its low cost, availability, and effectiveness in applications requiring pH adjustment, pozzolanic reactions, and long-term strength development in cementitious systems.

Regulatory Screening
Environmental
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
