Lime (Calcium Hydroxide 85%)

Lime (Calcium Hydroxide 85%) is a versatile alkaline agent used in textile processes such as indigo dyeing, natural dye preparation, and pH adjustment. It raises alkalinity in dye baths or vats, helping to develop certain colours and improve pigment solubility.

This fine-grade lime powder is ideal for indigo vats, batik work, and mordanting recipes that require controlled pH. It dissolves easily in water, producing a stable solution for use across natural dye systems.
