Examples of calcium hydroxide

• The use of chlorhexidine gluconate and calcium hydroxide for infection control was shown to lead to substantial healing of a large periapical lesion.

• It consists primarily of calcium hydroxide which is derived by slaking quicklime (calcium oxide), and may contain up to 5% of other ingredients.

• It can be prepared by boiling calcium hydroxide and sulfur together with a small amount of surfactant.

• Traditionally, alkalis such as lime (calcium hydroxide) or soda ash (sodium carbonate) were used.

• If calcium oxide is used, the water will react with it to form calcium hydroxide.

• Part of the reason for the slowness of the calciumwater reaction is a result of the metal being partly protected by insoluble white calcium hydroxide.

• Naphthalene sulfonate polymers are produced by treating naphthalene with sulfuric acid and then polymerizing with formaldehyde, followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide.

• It is created by the reaction of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.
