Lithium hydroxide
CAS No 1310-66-3
Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH·H₂O, CAS 1310-66-3) is a white crystalline inorganic compound and strong base with a molecular weight of 41.96 g/mol. It is a critical raw material in the production of lithium-ion battery cathode materials, high-performance lubricating greases, and ceramic glazes. OQEMA supplies lithium hydroxide monohydrate in 25 kg paper-plastic bags from stock held at warehouses in Slatiňany, and Plzeň, enabling rapid delivery across the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Central Europe.
