Grignard-reactions: reagent for the introduction of the cyclohexyl group; metalation of CH-acidic compounds.

Powerful and selective reducing agent.

Spodumene is used in glasses, glass-ceramics, porcelain enamels, whitewares, and glazes due to the powerful fluxing properties of lithia. It possesses a very low thermal expansion and reduces the viscosity of the glass mass. It contributes to brilliancy and strength of the glass.

For the production of highly reactive and quick fuze compositions in pyrotechnics for use in ammunition, explosives, airbags and safety belt pretensioners; for the manufacture of photographic flash cubes.

Ethylene-1,2-bis(pentabromophenyl) SAYTEX 8010 flame retardant is a non-diphenyl oxide based product containing a high level of aromatic bromine.

Cesium fluoride is a fluorination agent for halide exchange reactions. It is a versatile base in organic synthesis and can be used in e.g. in polymerization reactions or in brazing fluxes.

Raw material for the glass, ceramics and enamel industries; basis material for the manufacture of other lithium compounds; catalyst for esterification; additive and flux for welding rods; additive in aluminum electrolysis melts; additive for quick-setting cement.

Alkylating and metalating agent.

Alkylating and metalating agent. Reagent for the introduction of the tert-butyl group.

Titanium powders find application in various pyrotechnic areas. Mixed with oxidizing agents they are used in initiators including air bag inflators. They are also used in manufacture of flash cubes, for joining glass or ceramics to metals, and as a getter substance.
