Description

Lithium LE-1 is used: for the production of active catalysts in industrial synthesis, as a degasifier, a modifier; as additives to the alloys of non-ferrous metals to reduce their density, increase resistance against corrosion and improve the mechanical characteristics of the alloys.

Note

Lithium LE-1 is produced by electrolysis.
