Lithium Chloride is a highly hygroscopic inorganic salt available in anhydrous or solution form. It is one of the most soluble salts known, particularly in polar organic solvents and water.

This Technical Grade material is critical for the production of lithium metal via electrolysis. It also serves as a high-performance desiccant due to its ability to absorb large quantities of atmospheric moisture.

In specialized industrial sectors, it is used as a brazing flux for aluminum and as an electrolyte component. Its stability and high purity ensure consistent performance in energy storage technologies.

Lithium Chloride
  • Humidity Control: Used in industrial air conditioning systems as a liquid desiccant for dehumidification.
  • Metallurgy: Acts as a flux for welding and brazing aluminum and magnesium alloys in aviation.
  • Battery Electrolytes: A precursor and component for electrolytes in specialized lithium-based batteries.

Classified as Acute Toxicity (Oral) Category 4 and Skin Irritation Category 2. Use PPE including lab coats, gloves, and safety goggles to prevent mucosal irritation.

25 kg plastic drums or hermetically sealed moisture-proof bags.
