High Quality Lithium Carbonate CAS 12627-14-4

Lithium Carbonate Hardening Accelerating Admixture

LC198 is lithium carbonate, the lithium salt of carbonate with the formula Li₂CO3. This white salt is widely used in the processing of metal oxides and treatment of mood disorders.

Lithium carbonate is an important industrial chemical. It forms low-melting fluxes with silica and other materials. Glasses derived from lithium carbonate are useful in ovenware. Lithium carbonate is a common ingredient in both low-fire and high-fire ceramic glaze. Its alkaline properties are conducive to changing the state of metal oxide colorants in glaze particularly red iron oxide (Fe2O3). Cement sets more rapidly when prepared with lithium carbonate, and is useful as accelerator for fast setting tile adhesives, tile grout, self-leveling compound and other fast-setting cement based applications etc.

Lithium carbonate is recommended for use in cementitious systems based on calcium aluminate cements. The addition level is typically, 0.02 to 0.1 % by weight of cement.
