What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

LITHIUM FLUORIDE

LITHIUM FLUORIDE – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Lithium Fluoride (LiF) is an inorganic lithium compound widely used in optical applications, chemical synthesis, and nuclear reactors. It is a white crystalline solid with a high melting point and is commonly used as a fluxing agent in metallurgy and ceramics. In optics, Lithium Fluoride is used to produce optical windows and lenses that can transmit in the UV and infrared spectra. Additionally, it is employed in nuclear reactors for radiation shielding and as a component in liquid salt reactors. Lithium Fluoride also serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other lithium compounds. We supply Lithium Fluoride in industrial and laboratory grades, with reliable global distribution to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
