오늘날의 세계를 위해 강력하고, 더 안전하며, 지속 가능한 구조물을 구축하기 위한 파트너십.

Lithium carbonate is essential for manufacturing strong, durable and thermal-resistant glass used in building and construction. Our spodumene is a key component for glass, ceramics and metallurgical applications, helping to increase ceramic body strength, improve coating viscosity, color, strength and luster.

Our lithium carbonate is used as an accelerator for fast setting cement and mortars, reducing critical construction time for floor or wall applications. Albemarle additives are also found in self-leveling floor screeds, adhesives for tiles, shotcrete and waterproofing slurry. Lithium hydroxide is used to preserve concrete construction materials, as it mitigates the destructive effects of the alkalIndustry - silica reaction. 

Butyllithium is employed for anionic solution polymerization to produce styrene-butadiene copolymers, which are used for special road pavements to reduce noise and the abrasion of tires.

Albemarle’s SAYTEX® flame-retardant additives help mitigate the incidence of fire hazards. Flame retardant additives can be compounded into the polymer matrix during the wire and cable extrusion process, and production of wire coatings / primary insulation, that enhances the fire resistance of the final product. Our flame-retardant technology helps to meet the most stringent fire standards in the industry.

Insulation materials like fiberglass, cellulose and closed cell spray foam can be treated with flame retardants to increase their fire resistance. When treated with Albemarle flame retardants, these materials resist high temperature and reduce the risks of toxic smoke and sparks that cause fires, keeping buildings both energy efficient and safe.
