WG Hydrated Lime
For soil stabilisation & pH control. Supports ground improvement, drilling fluid treatment, and concrete system performance where site conditions demand controlled alkalinity and stability.
What It Is
WG Hydrated Lime is a calcium hydroxide powder used across multiple application including construction, water treatment, and agriculture.
On infrastructure sites, it is typically selected for soil stabilisation, pH adjustment, and treatment of drilling fluids and concrete systems to support the right reaction environment.

Formula
Where It's Used
Infrastructure-focused applications where controlled alkalinity matters.
Application 01
Soil Stabilisation & Ground Improvement
Used in ground improvement, road subgrade, embankment, and foundation works—where stabilisation and improved soil behaviour are required.
Application 02
Used for pH adjustment and treatment of drilling fluids, especially when maintaining a basic reaction environment is needed for consistent performance.
Site Note
In polymer-based drilling systems, pH typically needs to be kept in the basic field WG Polymer site checks commonly target pH 9–10 during mixing/drilling and before concreting.
Application 03
Concrete Systems (Reaction Environment Support)
Used in the treatment of concrete systems where controlling alkalinity and the reaction environment matters for performance.
Why It Matters on Site
Simple, practical benefits for infrastructure execution.
Soil Stabilisation Support
Helps in soil stabilisation and ground improvement works subgrade, embankment, and foundation use-cases.
pH Control for Drilling Fluids
Supports pH control for drilling fluids useful when maintaining a stable, basic reaction environment is important for system consistency.
Compatible with Mud Systems
Works well alongside bentonite/polymer mud systems to maintain required pH and performance.
Technical Specifications
Engineering-grade data for your project evaluation.
Application & Usage Guidance
Practical guidance for site engineers and project teams.
Application Method
Identify the target application soil stabilisation, pH adjustment, or fluid treatment.
Determine dosage based on soil type, fluid volume, and target pH range.
Mix thoroughly with soil or fluid using mechanical means for uniform distribution.
Monitor pH levels during and after application to confirm target range is achieved.
Operational Considerations
Wear appropriate PPE gloves, eye protection, dust mask.
Store in a dry, covered area to prevent moisture absorption.
Avoid mixing with incompatible chemicals without guidance.
Adjust dosage based on real-time site conditions and soil tests.
Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Important Note
In polymer-based drilling systems, maintain pH around 9–10 during mixing and before concreting. Adjust to 10–11 when required by system or site condition.
