Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate | Battery & Industrial Grade | CAS 1310-66-3
Overview
Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate is a highly reactive, white crystalline powder. As a premium lithium source, it bifurcates into two massive global industries: Next-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries and high-performance industrial lubrication. Unlike lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide can be synthesized at lower temperatures, making it the exclusive, non-negotiable precursor for High-Nickel Cathode Materials (NCA, NCM811) used in extended-range EVs. Additionally, it is the critical saponification agent for manufacturing advanced lithium-complex greases that protect high-speed, heavy-load industrial bearings.
Product Description
Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate is a highly reactive, white crystalline powder. As a premium lithium source, it bifurcates into two massive global industries: Next-generation Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries and high-performance industrial lubrication. It is the exclusive precursor for High-Nickel Cathode Materials (NCA, NCM811) used in extended-range EVs, and the critical saponification agent for manufacturing advanced lithium-complex greases that protect high-speed, heavy-load industrial bearings.
At Shandong Yinglang Chemical Co., Ltd., established in 2011, we supply massive commercial volumes of Ultra-High Purity Lithium Hydroxide to multinational battery gigafactories and elite lubricant formulators. Operating rigorously under Class 8 Dangerous Goods protocols, our product is packaged in heavily sealed, vacuum-grade moisture barriers, guaranteeing absolute chemical stability upon arrival.
For battery cathode synthesis, magnetic impurities and carbon dioxide absorption must be strictly minimized. Typical specifications:
| Purity (LiOH) | ≥ 56.5% |
|---|---|
| Carbonate (CO3) | ≤ 0.4% |
| Magnetic Impurities | ≤ 100 ppb |
| Sodium (Na) & Potassium (K) | ≤ 0.005% |
| Chloride (Cl) | ≤ 0.002% |
- High-Nickel EV Battery Cathodes: Synthesized to produce high-energy-density cathode materials (NCM811, NCA) for long-range electric vehicles.
- Industrial Bearing Lubrication: Reacted to produce extreme-pressure lithium-complex greases, offering unmatched mechanical stability and protection for high-speed industrial and automotive bearings.
- CO2 Scrubbing: Utilized in rebreathers, spacecraft, and submarine air purification systems to rapidly absorb carbon dioxide.
- Specialty Glass & Ceramics: Dramatically improves thermal shock resistance and lowers the melting point in specialty glass formulations.
In high-nickel cathode synthesis, even microscopic traces of magnetic metals (Fe, Zn, Cr) or elevated carbonate levels will trigger severe battery self-discharge and drastically shorten the lifecycle of an EV battery. Yinglang Chemical utilizes advanced multi-stage magnetic filtration, restricting magnetic impurities to the Parts Per Billion (PPB) level. Combined with our strict vacuum-aluminum packaging that entirely blocks ambient CO2, we guarantee a flawless, high-reactivity lithium precursor for your gigafactory.
- Transport Classification: Classified as Class 8 (Corrosive Solid).
- UN Number: UN 2680 | Packing Group: II
- Handling Precautions: EXTREME DANGER. Causes severe skin burns. Highly reactive with moisture and ambient CO2. Operators MUST wear full-body chemical protective suits and respirators. Store in a strictly dry, vacuum-sealed environment.

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.
