Overview
LifeTech® grades are lithium carbonate–based accelerating admixtures that do not contain sodium or potassium alkalis.
LifeTech® Ultrafines are the finest of all lithium carbonate grades from Livent. They offer excellent control, uniformity, and a predictable reaction rate in a variety of industrial applications.
LifeTech® lithium carbonates provide fine particle size and narrow size distribution for applications where reactivity and performance are based on the surface area of lithium carbonate particles.
