CalPril - Lime

CalPril is made of limestone crushed to a very fine powder: 100% will pass a 30-mesh screen; 80% will pass a 100-mesh screen; and more than 35% will pass a 325-mesh screen. The powder is then constituted into spherical prills held together with a bonding agent. These prills are then sized to a maximum of 4-mesh and a minimum of 14-mesh.

CalPril is not hygroscopic, however, in storage it must be protected from wetting.

The binding agent used to make CalPril is highly water soluble. Consequently, as soon as CalPril prills come into contact with water, disintegration of the prill begins, and the many small particles which comprise the prill are released into the surrounding soil water medium and the reaction to correct soil pH begins.
