Key Properties
Soda lime AR (with indicator) is a specialized grade of soda lime that serves as a CO2-absorbing material, notable for its color-indicating properties. This product changes color from white to pink or violet as it becomes saturated with carbon dioxide, providing a visual cue for its exhaustion. It is primarily composed of a mixture of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, combined with a pH indicator to enhance its functionality. This makes it particularly useful in applications where monitoring CO2 levels is critical, such as in gas analysis and respiratory research.
Also known as Soda lime, CO2 absorbent.

Soda lime AR appears as white to pink/violet granules, which change color upon saturation with CO2. The product has a density of approximately 0.8 g/cm³ and is soluble in water, forming a strongly alkaline solution. The melting point is not applicable as it is a mixture, but the decomposition of the hydroxides occurs at temperatures above 580 °C. The product has a pH value of around 12-13 when dissolved in water, indicating its highly alkaline nature. The granules are typically non-volatile under standard conditions, making them stable for storage and use.
