Hydrated lime (calcium hydroxide) is used in construction for soil stabilization, mortar, and asphalt; in water treatment for pH adjustment; in agriculture as a soil conditioner and disinfectant; and in food processing for things like pickling and sugar purification; plus it's used in whitewash and industrial chemical processes. Its alkaline nature and ability to improve soil strength and water quality make it versatile, but it's a strong base and requires careful handling with protective gear.
