Glass, Ceramics & Pigments

Lohtragon^® metal salts offer suitable products for the production of visually high-quality special glass containing coloring metals in a controlled, low ppm range. Colored frits and enamels can be achieved with our coloring Lohtragon^® Iron and Copper compounds and in customized grades on request. Doping agents used in low amounts contribute to optical and electrical modification of glasses and ceramics. Easily thermally decomposable organic anions give the possibility to incorporate Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc and other ions into glasses and ceramics. Our Lohtragon^® selector guide for glass, ceramics & pigments gives you an overview of recommended Lohtragon^® grades.

Let´s talk!

Lohtragon^® products are used as precursor materials for high purity ceramics and glasses and in all applications that require controlled specifications. Our high purity range especially of Magnesium is designed as "easy to handle material" in comparison to classic organometallic Magnesium compounds. Lohtragon^® Magnesium and Aluminium compounds for enamels, frits and as ceramic precursor materials complete the range. Depending on requirements and the customer’s specification, we can produce mixtures with a precisely defined composition and fixed proportions of Carbonates, Oxalates, Citrates and other anions. Moreover, our Lohtragon^® range includes special Magnesium precursors for modified sapphire glass. For pigments the Lohtragon^® metal precursors based on Copper and Iron are available. Magnesium or Lithium Acetate or their Citrates are suitable for use as vacancy forming agents in the production of ceramic catalysts.

Lohtragon^® product purity also qualifies the range for medical products such as ceramics in dental and orthopaedics.
