Micronized ground quicklime, also known as micro lime, is an ultra-fine calcium oxide powder developed for applications requiring high reactivity and precise particle control. Thanks to its strong hygroscopic properties, it is widely used as a moisture scavenger in polymer-based systems. The controlled particle size distribution and high chemical purity make our micronized lime product an essential additive in plastics, rubber, sealant and adhesive industries.
Applications
Micronized lime is primarily used as a desiccant in the processing of polymers and elastomers. It can be used in masterbatch formulations with e.g. PE, PP or PVC to effectively bind residual moisture, preventing defects such as blistering, bubbling, pinholes or surface irregularities, and it can also be used as a filler in masterbatch. It enhances process stability and improves the mechanical properties of rubber compounds. In powder coatings, it contributes to consistent film formation and durability. Beyond polymer applications, micronized lime serves as a chemical agent in various industrial processes and is also used as a biocidal product in agriculture and livestock hygiene.
