CQL Benefits for Your Projects
CQL can save you time and money with all the benefits you trust in Quicklime, plus:
- Reduced Mellow: Compaction can be done in as little as 4 hours depending on the soil type thanks to:
- Faster hydration: The conversion from calcium oxide to calcium hydroxide is faster when blended with moist soil.
- Improved mixing: CQL offers better homogenization with the soil, which further accelerates the lime-soil chemical reactions.
- Faster hydration: The conversion from calcium oxide to calcium hydroxide is faster when blended with moist soil.
- Reduced Mixing: CQL has less need for mixing, particularly in low to moderately plastic soils. Finer particles of CQL lead to better homogenization, eliminating the need for a second mix in many cases.
- Increased Load Capacity: Carry more product in a single spreader truck with CQL compared to traditional quicklime, saving
time and money. - Increased Spreading Versatility: This product was engineered to be compatible across a broader range of spreader trucks.
- Even Faster Construction Timelines: CQL accelerates project schedules with a reduced mellow time and by not needing to remix prior to compaction.
- Accelerated Early Strength: Using CQL can provide early strength development, helping you build sooner with a stable
working platform.

What makes Mintek stand out?
Calciment®
Mintek is the exclusive supplier of Calciment™ a hybrid of Portland Cement and quicklime.
From pre-project support to flexible fulfillment, Mintek offers unparalleled service including technical expertise, a variety of packaging configurations, and flexible delivery options to accommodate even the most stringent jobsite requirements. Let's discuss how CQL can help you save time and money on your next build.
Quicklime
Quicklime provides the fastest drying to keep projects on time and on budget.
Distributed Products
Mintek offers a variety of distributed products to assist with drying, modifying and stabilizing soils, waste streams and sentiments.
Hydrate Lime
Formed when quicklime is mixed with water, also known as the slaking process, this results in calcium hydroxide, or Ca(OH)2.
CQL provides rapid soil drying, modification, and stabilization with a four-hour mellow period and without the need for a second mix.
Benefits of CQL in Soil Treatment:
CQL has all the benefits of Quicklime (except having various sizing options) plus the following additional features and benefits:
- Reduced Mellow: Mellow is the time the contractor must wait from mixing the product with the soil to final compaction of the soil. Compaction can be done in as little as 2 hours depending on the soil. This is possible due to:
- Faster hydration (conversion from calcium oxide to calcium hydroxide) when blended with moist soil.
- Improved mixing (better homogenization) with the soil, which further accelerates the lime-soil chemical reactions.
- Reduced Mixing: Less need for remixing following a mellow, particularly in low to moderately plastic soils.
- Increased Spreading Versatility: The product was engineered to be compactable across a broader range of spreader trucks.
- Even Faster Construction Timelines: CQL improves upon quicklime by potentially further accelerating project schedules by taking advantage of the reduced mellow and/or potential need to not have to remix prior to compaction.
- Accelerated Early Strength: The use of CQL can provide earlier strength development, which provides the contractor with a stable working platform that allows them to complete their work sooner.
