Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Soda Lime with indicator
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-1206)
Grade: Laboratory Grade (Lab Grade). Formulated under Kemaus standard laboratory quality control to ensure optimal gas absorption capacity and uniform granule sizing. It consists primarily of calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide, integrated with a sensitive color indicator that guarantees highly dependable operational monitoring.
Physical Properties: Odorless, solid granules of white or light tinted shade depending on the specific indicator composition.
Color Indicator Feature: As the granules actively absorb carbon dioxide and approach chemical saturation (becoming spent), they undergo a distinct visual color transformation (such as transitioning from white to violet). This provides a clear, real-time warning that the material needs replacement.
Key Use: Widely utilized as an efficient carbon dioxide absorbent in closed-circuit laboratory gas lines, desiccators, and analytical synthesis setups. Frequently used in respiratory physiology research to strip carbon dioxide from ambient air loops. Also applied in anesthesia gas scavenging systems and breathing apparatus filters within advanced clinical and veterinary research.

Safety & Hazards (Critical & Corrosive)

Classification: Causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage. May cause respiratory irritation.
Health Risks: Direct skin or eye contact with granules or dust induces severe burning sensations and chemical burns due to its strong alkaline matrix. Inhalation of airborne dust causes significant irritation to the respiratory tract, inducing coughing. Ingestion causes immediate corrosive damage to gastrointestinal tissues.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical evaluation immediately.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Highly Moisture and Air Sensitive. It continuously and aggressively reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide if exposed to ambient air. Must be stored in the original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a strictly dry, cool, and well-ventilated chemical storage zone at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius).
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory chemical gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust respirator. Handle with care to minimize granule degradation into fine airborne dust.
