Slaked lime powder, also known as calcium hydroxide/ Kadukkai sunnambu (in Tamil), is a finely processed powder produced by adding water to quicklime (calcium oxide). It is widely used in construction, agriculture, and industrial applications due to its versatile properties.
Slaked lime is also used for home rooftop weather proofing, soil stabilization, pH adjustment, and water purification. It features excellent workability, ease of mixing, and antimicrobial properties, which prevent fungal growth on treated surfaces.
