Lithium Carbonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Li2CO3
Lithium carbonate supplier for industrial buyers in Malaysia. Also known as Li2CO3 (CAS 554-13-2), this white crystalline lithium salt is selected for glass and ceramic frits, enamel, cement accelerators, aluminium process duties, lithium soap greases and battery cathode precursor work.
Commercial grades run from industrial and technical purity, typically in the 99 percent class, through to high-purity battery grade at 99.5 percent and above with tighter impurity limits. Forms include crystalline powder and granules, with micronised and coarser particle sizes chosen to suit melting, dispersion or bulk handling.
Glass and ceramic makers use lithium carbonate to adjust melt behaviour in frits and glazes. Construction formulators may specify it as a set accelerator, grease makers use it as a lithium source for soap thickeners, and battery material producers request battery-grade powder for cathode precursor manufacture. This page covers industrial supply only and does not imply pharmaceutical material.
Send the required grade, particle size, target specification or impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Lithium Carbonate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial / technical grade lithium carbonate | white crystalline powder or granules | typically 99% class, confirmed against the required specification | Glass and ceramic frits and glazes, enamel, cement accelerators, aluminium flux work and general industrial lithium carbonate demand where battery purity is not required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Battery grade lithium carbonate | high-purity white powder, often micronised when specified | typically 99.5% and above, with tight impurity limits as specified | Lithium-ion battery cathode precursor manufacture and other high-purity lithium salt duties where sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron and sulphate limits are controlled. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Micronised lithium carbonate | fine micronised powder | — | Battery and selected glass or ceramic processes where a finer particle size improves dispersion, reactivity or melting behaviour. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Coarse granular lithium carbonate | coarse granules or coarser crystalline material | — | Charging and blending duties where a coarser particle size is preferred for handling or process feed. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about lithium carbonate
What is the difference between industrial and battery grade lithium carbonate?
Industrial and technical grades are commonly used for glass, ceramic, cement and general manufacturing duties at roughly the 99 percent purity class. Battery grade is a higher-purity material, typically 99.5 percent and above, with tighter limits on impurities such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron and sulphate. State the required grade and impurity profile with the enquiry.
Is pharmaceutical lithium carbonate the same as industrial lithium carbonate?
No. Pharmaceutical-grade lithium carbonate is a separate regulated identity used as a medicine and is not implied by this industrial catalogue page. Enquiries here cover industrial, technical and battery-grade material for manufacturing and process use only.
Does particle size matter for lithium carbonate?
Yes. Micronised powder is often preferred for battery and selected glass or ceramic processes where finer particles aid dispersion or melting, while coarser granules may suit bulk charging and handling. Include the preferred particle size or mesh with the specification.
Which industries use lithium carbonate in Malaysia?
Typical industrial uses include glass and ceramic frits and glazes, enamel, cement accelerators, aluminium process flux work, lithium soap greases and lithium-ion battery cathode precursor manufacture. Describe the application so the suitable grade can be considered.
How do I request a lithium carbonate price?
Provide the grade, assay or impurity limits, particle size if relevant, quantity, intended application and delivery location. Lithium carbonate is a commodity with a volatile contract price, so offers are quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period rather than a published list price.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List any preferred pack format and the product documents required for your process or quality system. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
