Lithium chloride

Lithium chloride (CAS 7447-41-8 ), commonly abbreviated as LiCl, is an inorganic salt sourced for its hygroscopic properties and ionic reactivity across industrial and specialty chemical markets. It functions as a desiccant, catalyst component, flame retardant additive, and reference electrolyte depending on the application sector. In textile processing, LiCl is used as a solvent additive to dissolve cellulose and aramid fibers. This enables the production of high-performance technical fabrics and fiber spinning solutions. Polymer manufacturers use it as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in polycondensation reactions, particularly in the production of polyamides. In pharmaceutical and biotechnology workflows, LiCl serves as a selective precipitation agent for RNA isolation. This makes it a standard reagent in nucleic acid purification protocols for laboratory and industrial use. Water treatment and industrial humidification systems use LiCl-based solutions for moisture control and humidity regulation in closed-loop environments. The compound is supplied as a white crystalline powder or in anhydrous granule form. Anhydrous purity is the most commercially traded specification for this material. Standard grades include technical, pharmaceutical, and reagent-grade, with purity levels typically ranging from 98% to 99.9%. Packaging is available in moisture-resistant containers due to the compound's strong affinity for atmospheric water. This ensures the product maintains its integrity and flowability during transport and storage. Contact us for supply of Lithium chloride Request Quote
