Chemetall is a global producer of lithium chemicals and others with over eighty years experience. The product line is comprised of over eighty different commercially available lithium compounds as well as custom-tailored products to suit our customer?s requirements. Product groups available include lithium inorganics, lithium metal, butyllithiums, metal hydrides, lithium amides, alkoxides, Grignard reagents, and many more. Chemetall began production of organolithium products in the early 1970?s. One of the first to be produced was Butyllithium used in the production of synthetic rubber. Since then it?s utility in organic synthesis has grown to include application in the production of thermoplastic elastomers, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Chemists have since discovered many new applications of organolithium compounds recognizing the ease of use and higher yields. Chemetall?s specific know how in the manufacture, handling and use of air and moisture sensitive compounds was also the basis for the successful diversification into derivatives of other alkali and alkaline earth metals including sodium alkoxides and organomagnesium compounds. Chemetall sites have multifunctional production capabilities for efficient supply of a wide array of organometallic products to all continents. Chemetall production sites are conveniently located in Germany, the U.S., and Taiwan. The successful fusion of know-how, technical expertise, and globally recognized quality certifications to include DIN EN ISO 9001:2000, DIN EN ISO 14001:2004, and ICH-GMP-Guide Certificate for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) makes Chemetall the obvious partner for lithium chemistry worldwide.
