Substances containing base is called basic
substances. Bases are substances that, in aqueous
solution, release hydroxide (OH−) ions, are slippery to the
touch, can taste bitter if an alkali,[1]change the color of
indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react
with acids to form salts, promote certain chemical
reactions (base catalysis), accept protons from any proton
donor or contain completely or partially displaceable
OH− ions. Examples of bases are the hydroxides of
the alkali metals and the alkaline earth
metals (NaOH, Ca(OH)2, etc.—see alkali hydroxide and
Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and
conduct electricity when dissolved in
water. Indicator compounds such as
litmus can be used to
detect bases. Bases turn red litmus
paper blue. The strength of bases is
measured on the pH scale
Calcium hydroxide :

Calcium hydroxide has many industrial uses, such as in

the Kraft paper process, as a flocculent in water and
sewage treatment, in the preparation of ammonia, and as a
pH modifier. It is also an important ingredient in cement,
plaster and mortars. As a fairly non-toxic and mild base, it
has many uses in the food industry, including pH
adjustment, calcium fortification, digestion aid, and
baking soda substitute.
Magnesium Hydroxide

Activation degree is high, reduce costs and smoke,

the compatibility and dispersibility can be improved,
The particle size distribution is uniform.

Lower the cost, enhance flame retardancy and smoke

suppression. MDH is better for plastics needing high
temperatures.

Magnesium hydroxide is a very important processing

section in antisepsis and desulphurization. High
Performance and cost-saving.
sodium hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide is one of the most widely used

bases in industry. Its main uses are in the paper
industry, petroleum industry, textiles industry, in
themanufacture of soaps and detergents, in the
Bayer process of aluminum production, industrial
cleaning, and for pH regulation.
