Mintek Resources High Calcium Hydrated Lime is formed when quicklime is carefully mixed with water to form hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂), also known as hydrate, slaked lime or calcium hydroxide. This hydration process forms a very fine, white powder that is useful in a number of applications. It is used in asphalt as an anti-strip agent as it helps to stiffen binders.
