Overview of Soda Lime
Soda Lime is a highly efficient chemical absorbent primarily composed of calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and water, used to absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other acidic gases. It appears as a granular or powdered white material and is widely used in medical, laboratory, industrial, and environmental applications due to its excellent CO₂ absorption capacity.
Soda Lime is commonly used in respiratory devices, gas purification systems, and chemical processing, providing reliable, safe removal of carbon dioxide and other contaminants. Its high efficiency, durability, and low dust formation make it suitable for continuous industrial and medical operations.
Related products available on our website and used in similar applications include Calcium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, and Activated Carbon. These chemicals are widely applied in CO₂ scrubbing, water treatment, industrial purification, and chemical processing.
