- Manufacture of lightweight metal moldings.
- Lithium soaps are used as lubricating grease thickeners in high temperature applications.
- They have higher melting points than conventional sodium and potassium soaps (drop point of 180 ° C and maximum service temperature of 140 ° C).
- Greases with thickeners are resistant to loss of consistency and leakage. They have excellent anti-rust and corrosion properties.
- They have a moderate resistance to water.
- Additives in these fats work better than in other media.
- It has excellent sealing properties.
