Slaked lime

High-quality slaked lime is widely used in construction, repair, and gardening work. It is indispensable for protecting wooden structures from rot and fire, and for whitewashing ceilings and walls. It is often used to prepare concrete and other construction mortars, to treat the wooden bases of benches, gazebos, fences, and plant supports, and helps quickly handle various important tasks on construction sites. This material is produced by burning and processing limestone, chalk, and other carbonate rocks. The result of this process is a white powder with a heavy base that is poorly soluble in water; it reacts with acids (neutralizing them). Slaked lime contains the active ingredient calcium hydroxide; it is easy to use but requires adherence to safety guidelines during application. Whitewashing tree bark with lime protects garden plants from various pathogenic microorganisms and pests penetrating their bark, and also helps protect the bark from temperature fluctuations and sunburn.
