Soda Lime

Product Description

Soda Lime is a mixture of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) and sodium or potassium hydroxide (NaOH/KOH), designed as a highly efficient absorbent for carbon dioxide (CO₂) and acidic gases. It appears as white to gray granular pellets or powder, and is widely used in laboratories, medical equipment, and industrial gas purification systems.

Due to its strong reactivity with carbon dioxide, Soda Lime is commonly employed in gas analysis, anesthesia machines, rebreathing systems, and incubation chambers. It ensures efficient CO₂ removal and stable gas compositions in controlled environments.

Key Features

• Chemical Composition: Primarily calcium hydroxide with small amounts of NaOH or KOH
