Quicklime, also known as calcium oxide, is a white, solid material made by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) at very high temperatures in modern lime kilns. This heating process removes carbon dioxide and converts limestone into a highly reactive, high-calcium product. Our high-purity, calcium-rich quicklime is produced at temperatures above 1200°C using petroleum coke, ensuring strong and reliable performance. It is widely used in industries such as steel, paper, water and plastic, pH adjustment, acid neutralisation, and pollution control. Quicklime is supplied in the form of powder, lumps, and chips/fines, making it suitable for different industrial needs.
