Lithium Salt Coagulant
Lithium Salt Coagulant
Lithium salts, particularly lithium carbonate is known for their ability to act as set accelerators in cement-based products. They help to speed up the setting time, improve early strength development, and enhance certain properties of the final hardened material.

Uses of Lithium Salts in Cement-Based Products:
- Set acceleration: Reducing the initial setting time, which is especially useful in cold weather or thin-mix applications.
- Early strength gain: Promoting faster development of early strength, useful in repair or fast-track construction.
- Improved workability: Sometimes they help in improving the flow and handling of the mortar or concrete.
Application in Floor Mortar:
- Lithium salts can be added in small amounts to floor mortars to accelerate setting and curing times.
- They can also influence the microstructure by promoting denser and more durable cement matrices.
- Proper dosage is critical to avoid overstimulation, which can cause rapid setting or cracking.
Important Considerations:
- Compatibility with other admixtures (like superplasticizers or foam reducers).
- Correct dosage based on the specific formulation.
- Cost and availability considerations, as lithium compounds tend to be more expensive than other accelerators.
