Lohtragon® B65, formulated based on Triammonium Citrate (CAS No. 3458-72-8), is a powerful ingredient in home care and cleaning solutions, particularly for rust prevention. Acting as a complexing agent, it enhances cleaning efficiency by binding hard water ions and maintaining pH balance. Unlike conventional rust removers based on phosphoric acid, Lohtragon® B65 not only eliminates rust but also leaves a protective coating on metal surfaces, reducing the risk of future corrosion. This dual-function feature makes it an excellent choice for long-term rust prevention in household applications. Summarized, the key benefits of Triammonium Citrate in home care and cleaning formulations are:
In coatings and adhesives, Lohtragon® B65 plays a multifunctional role as a buffering agent, stabilizer, chelating agent, and viscosity regulator. By sequestering metal ions, it prevents degradation, extending the shelf life of formulations. Its ability to stabilize emulsions and dispersions contributes to uniform formulations, ensuring smooth coating applications and strong adhesive bonds. Lohtragon® B65 leads to:
