Overview
Lithium nitrate is used in molten-salt heat-transfer and storage media, in pyrotechnics and signal compositions (red flame), as a flux in glass and ceramics, and as an analytical reagent. It is a strong oxidizer and must be kept apart from reducing agents in storage and transport.
- LiNO₃ ≥ 99.0%
- Molten-salt-grade impurities controllable
- Red flame color
