Description
Calcium hydroxide, with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2, is a soft white powder widely used as a raw material in the chemical industry. It is made by mixing calcium oxide with water. Each calcium ion (Ca2+) contains two hydroxide ions (OH-). This chemical is ionic and produces calcium and hydroxide ions both in aqueous solution and during electrolysis. Ca(OH)2 is the main component of masonry, gypsum and cement mortars; Is added to food to prevent it from becoming too acidic; Manufacture some insecticides, produce paints and waterproof materials, and act as additives to oils and lubricants, etc.
