Sourcing lime, minerals & building materials from Vietnam
Northern Vietnam's limestone belt supplies quicklime, hydrated lime and burnt dolomite to steel, mining, paper and chemical plants across Asia. Chemical composition varies by kiln and batch, so sampling and lab analysis are essential.
Typical products
| Quicklime | Lump and powder, CaO typically 85–95% |
|---|---|
| Hydrated lime | Ca(OH)₂ powder in bags or jumbo bags |
| Burnt dolomite | CaO and MgO for steel and refractories |
| Limestone & stone | Crushed limestone, natural stone slabs and tiles |
What to check before shipment
- Sampling during loading for CaO, MgO, SiO₂ and loss on ignition
- Reactivity and particle size where specified
- Moisture protection: lined jumbo bags, sealed containers
- Quantity, bag weight and marking
- Independent lab analysis on the sampled lot
Documents you will usually need
- Certificate of analysis
- Certificate of origin
- Weight certificate
- Safety data sheet
Requirements depend on the destination country and buyer. Confirm with your customs broker.
Why does quicklime quality drop in transit?
Quicklime reacts with moisture and carbon dioxide in the air. Good packaging and short storage before loading matter as much as the kiln.
