            In construction, the dominant use of hydrated lime is in soil stabilization for roads, earthen dams, airfields, and building foundations. Hydrated lime can be used to raise the pH of acidic soils. This is also referred to as soil "sweetening."

It has many names including hydrated lime, caustic lime, builders' lime, slaked lime, cal, and pickling lime. Calcium hydroxide is used in many applications, including food preparation, where it has been identified as E number E526.

        Is hydrated lime the same as powdered lime?

To simplify, hydrated lime is the result of adding water to powdered quicklime, putting it in a kiln or oven, and then pulverizing it with water. The resulting lime has a density of about 35lb/ft³, and is called calcium hydroxide.

Hydrated Lime, also known as calcium hydroxide and traditionally called slaked lime is an inorganic compound. Its molecular formula is Ca(OH)2 and its CAS is 1305-62-0.

Are there different grades of hydrated lime?

        Hydrated limes used in building applications are divided into four types, as described in ASTM Standard Specification C207 (Hydrated Lime for Masonry Purposes): Type N – normal hydrated lime. Type NA – normal air-entraining hydrated lime. Type S – special hydrated lime.
