Lithium Benzoate, pure
C6H5COOLi
Lithium Benzoate, pure (CAS 553-54-8) is an inorganic lithium salt with molecular formula C6H5COOLi. It is typically supplied as a crystalline powder.
It can serve as a raw material for producing high-purity lithium chemicals used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Raw material for pharmaceuticals. Catalyst in the field of polymerization of e.g. polypropylene resins. Hardening of polymers (e.g. polyepoxides).
Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent contamination (and moisture pickup where applicable). Use standard industrial hygiene practices and consult the SDS for handling, incompatibilities, and spill response.
