Graymont produces a wide range of lime-based products used in agriculture. These products are most often referred to as ag-lime. The primary function of ag-lime is to increase soil pH, which represents a natural way to increase crop yields among a wide range of soil conditions.
Acid-based cleaning chemicals can also etch limestone, which should only be cleaned with a neutral or mild alkaline-based cleaner. Other uses include: 1  It is the raw material for the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide), slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), cement and mortar. Glass making, in some circumstances, uses limestone. 2  It is added to toothpaste, paper, plastics, paint, tiles, and other materials as both white pigment and a cheap filler. 3  It can suppress methane explosions in underground coal mines. 4  Purified, it is added to bread and cereals as a source of calcium.
