All the products ofITALCALCE industry have received the Certification CE, and its laboratory is awarded of thecertification ISO 9001/2008.This is the wide range of ITALCALCE lime products:- CALCIUM OXIDE (QUICKLIME) IN LUMPS;- GRANULAR CALCIUM OXIDE;- MICRONIZED CALCIUM OXIDE;- SUPER-AERATED HYDRATED LIME;- SLAKED LIME, LIME PUTTY;- MORTAR FOR MASONRY WORK.Most of these products can be packed in 25 kilos bags already palletized, or loose in big bags. - - - - The fundamental characteristics of lime are:- a wide range of applications;- low cost and easy use of all the products.Nowadays the most important employments of LIME are: WATER TREATMENTDesalination of sea water: Lime is particularly indicated for the processing of sea waterdesalination and, in general, for the treatment of water for human potability.Hydrated lime, in the form of milk-of-lime, has the fundamental property of neutralizing watercomposition and stabilizing it to a pH factor perfectly fit and absolutely safe for human use.Consequently, lime can be used:- to decarbonize (to soften) excessively hard water;- to remineralize excessively soft water;- to correct the pH factor. In fact, water rich in free carbon dioxide is aggressive to pipes.Therefore, the use of lime stabilizes the pH factor of water and safeguards thedistribution network of pipes both from corrosion and from scaling.
