Hydrated Lime

Formed when quicklime is mixed with water, also known as the slaking process, this results in calcium hydroxide, or Ca(OH)2. Hydrate is the least dense of our products and is physically a very fine white powder.

Hydrate can be used to:

• Stabilize subbase soils in construction applications to strengthen and modify the soil to extend the pavement life
• As an additive in asphalt for anti-stripping while stiffening the binders in asphalt
• Improved resistance to rutting and moisture damage
• Better life cycle cost-benefit ratios than liquid antistrips
• Greater Tensile Strength Ratios after repeated freeze thaw cycles when compared to untreated and liquid treated asphalts
• DOT Approved, click here to see our full list of DOT approvals with more to come!
