Use of lithium carbonate in cements and adhesives

El lithium carbonate that we produce is used in cements, adhesives and other construction materials Thanks to its accelerating and strengthening properties. When incorporated into the mixture, accelerates the settingThat is, the process of hardening, loss of plasticity, and sealing of the cement. This allows for shorter drying times, which improves efficiency in construction projects and reduces waiting times.

The lithium carbonate It improves the compressive strength and durability of the final product, making it more suitable for demanding conditionssuch as areas of high humidity or heavy traffic. It is also used in tile adhesives, where it helps extend the life of the material and prevents failures such as premature peeling or cracking.

industrial applications

Cements: for rapid setting in civil works.

Adhesives: for high traffic tiles or wet environments.

Specific construction materials: where reinforced strength and durability are required.

How does it work in cements and adhesives?

Improves setting speed: by accelerating the hardening and loss of plasticity of the cement.

Increases mechanical resistance and compression: which allows for more durable structures and bonds.

In tile adhesives: It extends the lifespan by reducing the risk of detachment and cracking.

Industrial benefits

Faster setting: It reduces waiting times during construction.

Greater resistance: It increases the durability and stability of floors and structures.

Long-lasting quality: It improves the adhesion of materials, preventing premature failure.

Why is our lithium carbonate ideal?

Purity ≥ 99%: It ensures consistent and reproducible effects in construction applications.

Micronized technical formats: They facilitate their uniform dispersion in mixtures.

Sustainable production: solar energy at the Salar del Carmen plant and full traceability.

Reliable supply: Delivery from Puerto Angamos with 99% operational capacity.

Lithium carbonate is a white, odorless salt composed of lithium, carbon, and oxygen, with the chemical formula Li₂CO₃. It is used in various applications such as the production of lithium-ion batteries, ceramics, specialty glasses, lubricants, and in the synthesis of chemical compounds.

En Novandino Litio We produce high-purity lithium carbonate, with a minimum of 99%. The lithium is obtained from the brine of the Atacama Salt Flat in northern Chile and is then processed in our production plants in Antofagasta using various chemical processes that allow us to achieve the quality required by the industry.

Our technical lithium carbonate is supplied to customers all over the world, contributing to key industrial applications, from the manufacture of batteries for electric vehicles and electronic devices to inputs for ceramics and specialty glasses.
