Lithium Acetate

Lith™ LiOAc Lithium Acetate, Anhydrous a white granular powder that is freely soluble in water and short chain alcohols. Lithium acetate is currently available in two forms: anhydrous and dihydrate and is known for its low electrical conductivity. Anhydrous lithium acetate is obtained by heating commercial lithium acetate till the melting point of anhydrous salt, and then cooling it very slowly. Mainstream applications include: Buffer for ion exchange chromatography, in the production industrial polymers and resins, Precursor for lithium ceramic cathode materials in the manufacture of textiles and lubricant greases, Key component of solid polymer blend electrolytes, PVC stabilizer and as an antistatic additive.

Lith LiOAc (29% w/w solution) used as an additive to industrial clearers for neutralizing for carbonated floors, as a highly effective de-icer that is non-corrosive to concrete and stabilizing additive for cleaners to help reduce alkalis as well as a catalyst for oxidation and hydroformylation of organic compounds for their deprotonation and dehydration.
