About Quick Lime
Quick lime — calcium oxide — is produced by calcining high-grade limestone in our kilns at Borunda, Rajasthan. It is the workhorse reagent of heavy industry: a flux in steelmaking, a neutralising agent in chemical processing, a stabiliser in road and soil works, and a disinfectant in water treatment.
Deshwali Minerals supplies quick lime in lump and graded fractions, matched to the feed system it has to run through. Every consignment is drawn from a controlled burn and released against the size and reactivity band agreed at the time of order, so what arrives on site behaves the way your process expects.

Packing, storage and transport
Lime degrades on contact with moisture and air. How it is packed and stored is a technical decision, not a cosmetic one.
Packing
- 10 kg bags
- 40 kg bags
- Jumbo bags
- Loose / bulk tipper
Recommended against transit distance and destination conditions.
Storage
- Store in a dry, covered, well-ventilated area, clear of the ground.
- Keep sealed until use — quick lime reacts with atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, losing available lime over time.
- Rotate stock; use oldest consignments first.
Transport
- Dispatched in covered trucks or bulk tippers from Borunda, Jodhpur.
- Jumbo bags palletised or slung; bagged goods stacked and sheeted.
- Containerised loading available for export consignments.
Safety
- Quick lime is caustic and reacts exothermically with water.
- Handle with gloves, goggles and dust protection.
- Refer to the Safety Data Sheet before handling. [SDS — TO BE SUPPLIED BY COMPANY]

Quick Lime is supplied in 10 kg and 40 kg bags and jumbo bags, with bulk options where your handling allows. Packing is recommended against the transit distance and destination conditions, because lime degrades on contact with moisture and air.
Yes. The size fraction and grade are agreed at the quotation stage and the consignment is screened or ground to match. Tell us the duty the material has to perform and we will recommend the fraction.
The specification parameters are listed on this page. The verified figures for each parameter are supplied by the company against your specific grade requirement — this site does not publish specification values that have not been confirmed by the plant.
Store dry, under cover and sealed until use, clear of the ground, and rotate stock so the oldest consignment is used first. Lime reacts with atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, which reduces available lime over time.
