    Sodium Succinate Hexahydrate in Construction Industry

    In construction applications, particularly in gypsum-based systems, Sodium Succinate 6-hydrate acts as a crystal morphology modifier. It enables target-oriented control over the crystallization behavior of alpha gypsum, influencing the shape and size of the crystals formed during hydration. This controlled morphology leads to a denser microstructure and significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the hardened gypsum. Its use supports improved performance of construction materials, contributing to greater structural integrity, reduced brittleness, and optimized processing conditions.

    Key benefits of Lohtragon® B45 in Construction Industry:

    • Modifies gypsum crystal morphology
      • Controls the shape and size of alpha gypsum crystals for improved microstructure.
    • Enhances mechanical strength of gypsum-based materials
      • Supports denser and more robust end products with reduced brittleness.
    • Optimizes setting and processing behavior
      • Enables better workability, handling, and performance in gypsum formulations.
