ikalika Quick ngokubanzi iqulethe overheated ikalika, ukugcinwa kukalika overheated lucotha, ukuba uthuthu uthuthu intlama ukuqina kwakhona, kuya kubangela ukwandiswa ukwaphuka ngenxa ukwandiswa ukwaluphala.Ukuze kupheliswe le nzakalo yokutshiswa kwekalika, i-lime kufuneka kwakhona "igugile" malunga neeveki ezi-2 emva kokugcinwa.Ubume bumhlophe (okanye grey, brown, white), amorphous, ukufunxa amanzi kunye ne-carbon dioxide emoyeni.I-calcium oxide idibana namanzi yenze i-calcium hydroxide kwaye ikhuphe ubushushu.Inyibilika emanzini aneasidi, ayinyibiliki etywaleni.Iinorganic alkaline amanqaku corrosive, ikhowudi yengozi yelizwe :95006.Ikalika idibana neekhemikhali emanzini kwaye ifudunyezwa ngoko nangoko kumaqondo obushushu angaphezu kwe-100°C.
