Description

Calcium Oxide Powder 90% Extra Pure by Loba Chemie (India) is a high-purity form of calcium oxide (CaO). It is commonly used in a variety of chemical, industrial, and laboratory applications. It is also known as quicklime and is typically employed in processes like water treatment, metal production, and as a desiccant or drying agent.

Key Features of the Calcium Oxide:

Purity: 90% Extra Pure grade, which makes it suitable for laboratory and industrial use where high purity is required.
Appearance: A fine, white powder.
Chemical Composition: Primarily made up of calcium oxide (CaO), with minimal impurities.
Packaging: Usually available in sealed containers to maintain its purity and prevent moisture absorption, as calcium oxide is hygroscopic.
