Lithium Acetate | Anhydrous & Dihydrate
Product Overview
Lithium Acetate is a white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water and alcohols. As a specialized organic lithium salt, it acts as a high-performance catalyst, an essential pharmaceutical intermediate, and a critical buffer reagent in biological research. It is commercially available in two primary forms to suit different manufacturing requirements: Anhydrous Lithium Acetate and Lithium Acetate Dihydrate.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2016, we supply ultra-high-purity Lithium Acetate engineered for precision industries. With strict control over trace metal impurities and moisture levels, our product delivers consistent, reliable results for global polymer manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and biotechnology labs.
Technical Specifications (COA)
We strictly control impurities to ensure peak performance. Below are the typical specifications for our Anhydrous Grade:
| Purity (CH3COOLi) | ≥ 99.0% |
|---|---|
| Moisture / Water | ≤ 0.5% |
| Chloride (Cl) | ≤ 0.005% |
| Sulfate (SO4) | ≤ 0.01% |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.001% |
Key Applications
- Polymer Synthesis Catalyst: Acts as a highly effective catalyst in the production of polyester (PET) resins and other specialty polymers, improving reaction rates.
- Pharmaceuticals: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) precursor and intermediate in the synthesis of mood-stabilizing psychiatric treatments.
- Biotechnology: Widely used in biochemical laboratories as a buffer in DNA/RNA gel electrophoresis and in yeast transformation protocols.
- Antistatic Agents: Added to polymer matrices during plastics manufacturing to impart excellent antistatic properties.
Secure Packaging Options
We employ robust packaging to maintain product purity and prevent moisture absorption during long-haul sea freight:
- 25 KG Multi-wall Kraft paper bags with heavy-duty PE inner liners.
- 25 KG Fiber Drums (Highly recommended for Pharmaceutical/Biotech grades to prevent fiber contamination).
✅ Safety & Handling Profile
Transport: Classified as Non-Dangerous Goods (General Cargo) for ocean transport.
Health & Safety: Generally stable and safe to handle. May cause mild skin or respiratory irritation upon prolonged contact with the dust. Operators should wear standard industrial PPE (dust masks, gloves). Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated indoor warehouse, kept strictly sealed.

FAQ
Q1: What documents and certifications do you provide?
A Standard shipment includes COA (Certificate of Analysis) and MSDS (SDS). We also provide ISO 9001 certification and support third-party inspections like SGS or BV upon request.
Q2: Do you provide custom synthesis or formulation services?
A Yes. If you have specific purity requirements or a unique formulation, our R&D team can provide custom synthesis and adjust the stabilizers/inhibitors to meet your technical specifications.
Q3: What are your terms of payment?
A
For Orders ≤ $1,000: 100% in advance.
For Orders > $1,000: 30% T/T in advance, and the balance before shipment or against the copy of B/L. Irrevocable L/C at sight is also acceptable for bulk orders.
Q4: How long is your price valid?
A Chemical prices fluctuate due to the changes in raw material costs and exchange rates. Please contact our sales team for the latest real-time quotation.
Q5: What packaging and shipping ports are available?
A
We normally ship from Qingdao, Shanghai, or Ningbo.
Standard packaging includes 200kg Drums or 1000kg IBC Totes. We ensure strict safety compliance for both general and hazardous chemical cargoes.
Q6: It's my first time importing chemicals — can you help?
A Absolutely. Importing chemicals requires specific documentation. Our experienced logistics team will assist you with the entire process, including handling customs clearance documents and arranging the most suitable shipping method.
