Calcium oxide or quick lime is widely used versatile chemical compound, made from excellent deposit of high calcium limestone. High calcium lime is used for acid neutralization, flue gas treatment, as flux in metallurgical industry, in sugar refining etc. Below are the different grades of lime manufactured by us-:
| RAJASTHAN UNIT | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | CaO | MgO | SiO2 | LOI |
| Low Silica Lime | 92% | 2.50% | 1% | 3% |
| Regular Lime | 90% | 2.50% | 2.50% | 3% |
| KARNATAKA UNIT | ||||
| Name | CaO | MgO | SiO2 | LOI |
| Regular Lime | 80% | 3.50% | 3% | 4% |
Hydrated Lime or Calcium Hydroxide is produced by reacting quick lime with water. Hydrated lime is used for water treatment in E.T.P., Soil stabilization, hot mix asphalt, in construction, caustic soda, etc. Below are the different specifications:

Calcined Lime Powder has its application same as Calcined Lime, the only difference is with the size. Even the specifications are same except size, which can be variably adjusted according to customer requirement.
Lime stone is a naturally occurring sedimentary rock consisting of calcium/magnesium carbonate. It is being used by almost every industry i.e. fertilizers, food nutrients, construction, chemical, paper & pulp, metallurgical, oil refinery, agriculture etc. in one or other form.
