Chemical properties: generating hydrogen fluoride and hydrofluoric acid lithium (LiHF2), lithium hydroxide and lithium fluoride generated, lithium hydroxide complex salt (LiF • LiOH),
 
Uses: used as a desiccant. Flux. Aluminum welding flux. For infrared spectrophotometer prism production, electronic components, enamels and glazes manufacturing. In the ceramic industry, for reducing kiln mild improvement in thermal shock resistance, abrasion resistance and acid resistance. And other fluoride, chloride and borate together for metal welding flux. It is an essential component of fluorine electrolyte cell. In the high-temperature molten state batteries as an electrolyte component. As a carrier in the breeder reactor. Used extensively for aluminum, magnesium alloy and solder flux is also used as the aluminum industry to improve the electrical efficiency of the additive; neutron shielding material used in atomic energy industry, molten salt reactors used as a solvent; optical glass material used as an ultraviolet transparent window (transmittance 77-88%), and the lithium battery industry.
