Appearance: An odorless, white powder. Lithium carbonate based admixture. Application: LifeTech superfines is the medium of the LifeTech grades of lithium carbonate available from Livent. Because of its fine particle size and narrow particle size distribution, this product has been chosen as the grade of choice where reactivity and performance are based on the surface area of the lithium carbonate particles providing controllable, uniform and predictable rates of reaction. Since it is the medium of the grades, it is not as reactive as the ultrafines, but more reactive than the fines. If a different reaction rate is desired, the other LifeTech grades should be evaluated in use. LifeTech superfines is a chemical admixture that can be used to adjust and accelerate the setting time of cementitious systems such as high-alumina cements (HAC) and aluminaportland cement blends. The unique properties of LifeTech superfines have made this product the grade of lithium carbonate of choice in a number of other applications such as in manufacture of ceramics, welding rods, refractory materials, and specialty glasses.
Appearance: An odorless, white powder. Lithium carbonate based admixture. Application: LifeTech ultrafines is the finest of the LifeTech grades of lithium carbonate available from Livent. Because of its fine particle size and narrow particle size distribution, this product has been chosen as the grade of choice where reactivity and performance are based on the surface area of the lithium carbonate particles providing controllable, uniform and predictable rates of reaction. Since it is the finest of the grades, it is also the most reactive in these situations. If a slower reaction is desired, the other LifeTech grades should be evaluated in use. LifeTech ultrafines is a chemical admixture that can be used to adjust and accelerate the setting time of cementitious systems such as high-alumina cements (HAC) and aluminaportland cement blends.

The unique properties of lithium metal allow it to be used in various applications. Lithium has an atomic number of 3 and an atomic weight of 6.941. It is slightly harder than sodium, but softer than lead, and is extremely light with a density of 0.531 g/cm3, or about half that of water. The wide range between the melting point of 180.5°C and the boiling point of 1336°C along with its excellent heat capacity makes lithium a good medium for heat sink or heat transfer applications. Lithium is also a strong reducing agent and reacts readily even with weak oxidizers--reacting with nitrogen at ambient temperature. Even though lithium is a powerful reducing agent in many reactions, it is less reactive than the other elements in the alkali metals group.
LiOMe is a mild base used mainly in organic synthesis, most often in transesterifications. This reagent is offered currently in methanol solution of LiOMe (2.2M) and therefore is very easy to transfer from shipping container to storage or reactor. On contact with moisture, it is converted to methanol and lithium hydroxide causing the solution to become cloudy. For leading references, consult J. Mater. Res. 1999, 14, 1510.

n-Butyllithium is a very strong base, exceedingly useful in organic synthesis. NBL has found particular utility in deprotonation and metal–halogen exchange reactions. NBL is also a very effective initiator of anionic polymerization of styrene and conjugated dienes. The synthesis of solution SBR and of styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), in particular, is facilitated by NBL. References: The Chemistry of Organolithium Compounds, ed.

n-Hexyllithium is a non-pyrophoric strong base, primarily used in organic synthesis in deprotonation reactions and as a lithiation reagent. The advantage of this reagent is that the byproduct of a deprotonation reaction is n-hexanes. n-Hexane is less volatile and has a higher flash point than the n-butane generated from a deprotonation with n-butyllithium. 1) The Chemistry of Organolithium Compounds; Pergamon: Oxford, 1974; 2) Organolithium Methods; Academic Press: London, 1988.

Lectro® Max Powder (SLMP®) enables a new generation of Li-ion batteries by providing an independent source for lithium, which opens up choices for both anode and cathode materials. Introducing lithium in a stabilized powder form with the anode host material, such as Si and Sn-based, to form a lithium-ion system leads to a higher energy battery with more efficient utilization of lithium. Using non-lithium providing cathodes like manganese, vanadium or other metal oxides and metal fluorides that are more overcharge tolerant and potentially have lower costs, leads to safer and cheaper batteries. When used in combination, these materials can potentially double the energy density of the current lithium-ion battery. Lectro® Max Powder (SLMP®) could be used to replace thin lithium foil applications and in Fusion Research Devices to improve plasma performance.
