Lithium Hydroxide

SQM Lithium is one of the world leaders in the production of lithium and derivatives, a product that has one of the lowest carbon footprints on the market. Learn about the uses of lithium in industry.

What is lithium hydroxide used for in industry?

Lithium hydroxide is an inorganic salt with the formula LiOH which is presented in the form of a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and is a very corrosive compound.

It is mainly used in the production of lubricating greases, also known as lithium grease, which can operate under extreme temperature and load conditions. Approximately 70% of lubricating greases produced worldwide contain lithium, making lithium grease essential for development.

Lithium hydroxide is used in the battery production y dyes. SQM produces lithium hydroxide at its Salar del Carmen plant, near Antofagasta, Chile, from lithium carbonate which is produced in the same plant.
