Electrochemical grade perchlorate

Lithium perchlorate

Lithium perchlorate is mainly used as a primary lithium battery electrolyte and as a conductive imparting agent for polar resins.

Application(s)
  • Electrolytes
  • Conductive imparting agent, etc.

Properties

Lithium perchlorate

Appearance Colorless crystal
Specific gravity 2.429
Transition points 92.53℃ (trihydrate salt → monohydrate salt)
145.73℃ (monohydrate → anhydrous salt)
Melting point 236℃
Decomposition temperature 440℃ (decomposition to produce LiClO and O₂)

Danger

  • It is designated as a Class 1 dangerous substance (oxidizing solid) within the Fire Service Act. It releases oxygen and subsequently decomposes as a result of heating, impact, and friction. It helps combustible materials to burn and there may be instances where explosions occur if decomposition is severe.
  • Mixing with solvents, oils, grease, sugar, wood, cotton, other organic substances, dust, etc. may cause fires and explosions.
  • The mixing of easily oxidized substances such as sulfur, phosphorus and metal powder or fine inorganic substances can cause fires and explosions.
  • Dried material (which has been soaked in wood chips, cloth, etc.) ignites as a result of friction, impacts, fireworks, cigarette flames, etc., and burns violently.

30% aqueous solution of lithium perchlorate (LP-30)

Lithium perchlorate as a single component is categorized as a Class 1 hazardous material, so it is difficult to handle.
However, LP-30 is classified as a non-hazardous substance under the Fire Defense Act.
This product can be added to water-based paints, water-based emulsions, and similar applications for use as an antistatic agent.
It is also suitable for use as an electrolyte in primary lithium batteries.

Application(s)
  • Electrolytes
  • Conductive imparting agent, etc.

Properties

LP-30

Appearance Appearance: Liquid, ranging from colorless to pale yellow
Specific weight 2.429
Transition points 92.53℃ (trihydrate salt → monohydrate salt)
145.73℃ (monohydrate → anhydrous salt)
Melting point 236℃
Decomposition temperature 440℃(decomposition to produce LiClO and O₂)

Hazards

  • May pose a risk of fire or explosion when mixed with solvents, oils, greases, sugars, wood, cotton, other organic materials, or dust.
  • May result in fire or explosion if combined with fine inorganic materials or sulfur, phosphorus, metal powders, or other readily oxidizable substances.
  • May result in intense combustion from friction, impact, fireworks, or cigarette sparks if absorbed into wood chips, cloth, or similar materials and then dried.
