Overview
LifeTech® grades are lithium carbonate–based accelerating admixtures that do not contain sodium or potassium alkalis.
LifeTech® Lithium Carbonate Superfines provide a controllable, uniform, and predictable reaction rate, making it ideal for use in building materials and many industrial applications.
Because of its fine particle size and narrow-particle-size distribution, it is the ideal option where reactivity and performance are based on the surface area of lithium carbonate particles.
