Lithium fluoride powder 98.5+% 1 g

Lithium fluoride powder is a highly sought-after compound known for its exceptional properties in various industries. With its excellent thermal stability, high melting point, and low refractive index, this fine powder is widely used in optical coatings, ceramics, and as a flux in metal welding. Additionally, lithium fluoride powder is a key component in the production of lithium-ion batteries, making it an essential material in the rapidly growing electric vehicle market. Its unique characteristics and versatile applications make lithium fluoride powder an indispensable ingredient in cutting-edge technologies.
When working with lithium fluoride powder, it is important to follow safety precautions to minimize the risk of accidents or exposure. Here are some short safety instructions to consider: 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat or protective clothing, to protect your eyes, skin, and respiratory system. 2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to prevent the accumulation of airborne particles. Lithium fluoride powder should not be inhaled. 3. Handling: Avoid direct contact with the powder. Use tools like scoops or spatulas to handle the powder and prevent skin contact. 4. Storage: Store lithium fluoride powder in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition, incompatible materials, and moisture. 5. Fire safety: Lithium fluoride is not flammable, but it can release toxic fumes when heated. Keep it away from open flames or heat sources. 6. Spills: In case of a spill, carefully clean it up using appropriate methods, such as using a vacuum cleaner designed for hazardous materials or dampening the powder to prevent it from becoming airborne. 7. Disposal: Dispose of lithium fluoride powder according to local regulations and guidelines. Do not dispose of it in regular trash or down the drain. 8. Emergency procedures: Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, including the location of safety showers, eyewash stations, and fire extinguishers. 9. Training: Ensure that you have received proper training on handling and working with lithium fluoride powder before starting any experiments or procedures. Remember, these instructions are not exhaustive, and it is essential to consult the specific safety data sheet (SDS) provided by the manufacturer for detailed safety information and guidelines.
