  • Corrosion Protection Engineered for Your Needs

    Corrosion — the natural degradation of metals in contact with moisture, oxygen, or corrosive agents — creates costly challenges in sectors like:

    • Oil & Gas
    • Automotive & Transportation
    • Maritime & Marine
    • Renewable Energy & Utilities
    • Industrial Manufacturing

    Unchecked, corrosion can lead to equipment failure, safety hazards, and high maintenance costs. With Lohtragon® CP, we approach corrosion control differently:

    Instead of ready-made products, we offer custom-developed solutions.

    Under the Lohtragon® CP framework, we collaborate with you to develop tailor-made corrosion inhibitors based on metal salt chemistry — designed to function from within your system and meet your specific technical and regulatory requirements.

    How Lohtragon® CP Solutions Work?

    Corrosion inhibitors based on metal salts function by:

    • Forming protective passive layers on metal surfaces
    • Interrupting the electrochemical corrosion process

    We use salts of magnesium, zinc, calcium, and others to build the right additive for your specific application — whether in:

    • Coolants
    • Lubricants
    • Fuels
    • Water-based formulations
    • Processing fluids

    Each formulation is optimized jointly to deliver reliable performance under your operational conditions.

    Tailor-Made Solutions – Backed by Deep Expertise

    Lohtragon® CP is not a catalogue of standard additives — it is a development platform backed by:

    • In-depth knowledge of metal salt functionality
    • Access to a broad portfolio of high-purity metal salts
    • State-of-the-art application testing capabilities
    • Collaborative formulation development with your R&D

    From selecting the right cation/anion combinations to testing in your base fluids, we engineer corrosion protection systems based on real-world requirements.

    Sustainable Chemistry – A Cornerstone of Our Development Approach

    We develop Lohtragon® CP systems with a strong focus on green chemistry and regulatory compliance. Our concepts include:

    • Avoiding heavy metals and critical substances
    • Prioritizing low toxicity, biodegradability, and REACH compliance
    • Supporting your ESG and sustainability goals through custom design

    Our aim: help you phase out harmful corrosion inhibitors and replace them with safer, more sustainable alternatives—without compromising on performance.

    Broad Applicability – But Always Customized

    While we do not offer ready-made Lohtragon® CP products, our solutions are application-driven and developed for diverse use cases, including:

    • Metalworking Fluids
    • Engine Coolants
    • Lubricants and Greases
    • Fuel Systems
    • Water Treatment and Cooling Systems
    • Drilling and Completion Fluids
    • Reinforced Concrete Additives
    • Heat Transfer Media
    • Renewable Energy Installations
    • Electronics and Circuit Boards
    • Pulp and Paper Industry
    • Pipeline and Tank Protection

    Each sector presents unique corrosion mechanisms — we work with you to address them through tailored development.
