Industrial Applications

Home Care & Cleaning: Superior Rust Removal with Added Protection

Lohtragon^® B65 based on Triammonium Citrate (CAS No. 3458-72-8) is a highly effective additive for home care and cleaning products, especially for rust removal. Its role as a complexing agent enhances cleaning performance by chelating hard water ions and stabilizing pH levels. Unlike traditional phosphoric acid-based rust removers, Lohtragon® B65 not only removes rust but also forms a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing future corrosion. This dual-action capability makes it a top choice for long-lasting rust prevention in home care applications.

Coatings & Adhesives: Enhanced Stability and Performance

In coatings and adhesives, Triammonium Citrate | Lohtragon^® B65 acts as a multifunctional additive, serving as a buffering agent, chelating agent, stabilizer, and viscosity controller. By chelating metal ions, it prevents degradation and ensures a longer shelf life. Its ability to stabilize emulsions and dispersions ensures uniformity in formulations, delivering smooth finishes in coatings and reliable bonds in adhesives. Our Lohtragon^® B65 improves product durability, application properties, and cost-effectiveness for manufacturers.

Metalworking Fluids: Corrosion Prevention and Fluid Stability

Our Lohtragon^® B65 is an essential component in metalworking fluids, acting as a buffering agent to maintain stable pH levels and chelating metal ions to prevent and control unwanted precipitates. It inhibits corrosion on machinery and workpieces, reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment lifespan. Its ability to stabilize emulsions ensures effective mixing of oil and water components, optimizing lubrication and cooling properties in metalworking processes.

Chemical Synthesis: A Key Precursor for Advanced Applications

In chemical synthesis, Lohtragon^® B65 serves as a precursor in synthesizing other chemical compounds, introducing citrate groups into complex molecules, facilitating the production of advanced compounds in organic synthesis and material science. In catalyst preparation, it enhances catalyst efficiency and selectivity in industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Additionally, as a polymerization catalyst or modifier, it influences molecular weight distribution and properties, making it ideal for specialized plastics and resins.
