FMC Calcium Peroxide is a non-halogenated conditioning agent certified as food grade.  Calcium peroxide has a wide variety of applications ranging from oral care to agricultural use as a seed germination promoter.

 

Its slow oxygen release properties make it an ideal, cost-effective, and natural alternative for use in soil remediation and in other environmental and industrial applications. Used as a non-halogenated conditioning agent for the baking industry, FMC Calcium Peroxide strengthens the gluten wall in dough for better texture, moisture retention, and yield. 

 

FMC is one of the largest North American producers of calcium peroxide, manufacturing high quality, food grade calcium peroxide.

FMC Lithium Carbonate, as a source of Lithia (Li20), may be used as a flux to aid the melting of other components and helping to control expansion.  It has a very small ionic radius in comparison to the other alkali metals. 

 

Lithium Carbonate lowers the melting point of electrode fluxes in welding rods and the surface tension between the slag and base material.  Due to its performance as a strong flux, FMC Lithium Carbonate can be used to aid the melting of other components in certain ceramic compositions including enamel frits and glazes.  It can be vaporized in gas-fired heat-treating furnaces to protect the surface character of metals. Lithium Carbonate is also used in a variety of specialty applications such as ion batteries, art glass, and resins.

 

FMC Lithium is one of the world's largest producers of lithium chemicals.

FMC Lithium Hydroxide has the highest purity levels in the market.  Specific grades offer reduced levels of minerals such as CaO, NaOH, Mg, and SiO2 which are known to be problematic in certain end use applications. It is available in two forms, anhydrous and monohydrate.

 

Anhydrous LiOH is used as an intermediate generator in organic synthesis, a catalyst in alkyd resin manufacture and esterification reactions, a stabilizer in some photographic developers, and also as a heat sink material. It can act to absorb carbon dioxide from sealed environments as well.

 

Grades of lithium monohydrate are useful for the manufacture of fine chemicals and specialty greases, specialty resins, and as a pre-cursor in making critical battery materials.

 

FMC is one of the world's largest producers of lithium chemistry.

FMC LifeTech Lithium Carbonate Admixtures are used to adjust and accelerate the setting time of cement systems such as high-alumina cements and alumina-portland cement blends.  Because of the specially created particle sizes and narrow particle distribution, these products are the preferred choice where controlled reactivity and performance are needed.

 

These admixtures provide controllable, uniform, and predictable rates of reaction.  Common applications include refractory cements, self-leveling floor systems, quickset adhesives, quickset mortars, and rapid-repair materials.

 

FMC is a worldwide supplier of LifeTech Lithium Carbonate Admixtures and a leader in lithium carbonate chemistry.

FMC Lithium Specialty Inorganics include a variety of lithium-based salts. These products are high-purity, specialty products designed for niche applications. 

 

FMC Lithium Specialty Inorganics can be used in molten salt chemistry and metallurgy, glass manufacturing, and photographic chemistry.  Some function as catalysts in chemical reactions, oxidizing agents in reduction chemistry, fluxes in welding, curing agents, and as tracers in water treatment.

 

FMC Lithium is recognized as the leading expert of lithium chemistry worldwide.
