Lithium chloride monohydrate, 99.95% (metals basis)

Description

CAS: 16712-20-2 | ClH2LiO | 60.405 g/mol

Lithium chloride monohydrate is used as a precursor in the production of lithium metal and other lithium compounds. It acts as a welding agent for aluminum, salt bath for heat -treatment by low temperature and soldering techniques. It is also used as a tracer for chemical products viz. denaturation of wine. For absorbers, it is an absorption and disinfection reagent as well as desiccant for air conditioner.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
