Lohtragon® B98 | Type 2

Ammonium Citrate is the ammonium salt of citric acid (C₆H₁₇N₃O₇). It appears as a white to slightly yellow, hygroscopic crystalline solid, is highly soluble in water, and typically functions as a buffer, chelating agent, and catalyst precursor.

• Chemical synthesis: acts as a pH buffer and catalyst precursor, providing stable reaction conditions in complex, multi-step processes
• Home care: chelates hardness ions and stabilizes pH, preventing corrosion on metal surfaces
• Surface treatment: supports even metal ion distribution, prevents scale formation, and keeps solutions stable
• Crop care: Ferric Ammonium Citrate supplies essential iron and nitrogen, which promote robust plant growth
• Coatings & adhesives: stabilizes emulsions and chelates trace metals, extending shelf life of formulations

They are produced at our manufacturing facilities in Germany.

• Over 135 years of expertise in mineral and specialty salts
• Exclusive production in Germany with strict quality control
• Consistently low heavy metal content
• Full batch traceability and transparent supply chain
• Compliance with EU REACH and food-contact regulations where applicable

Solid forms like powders or crystals are easier to store, transport with lower weight, and allow flexible preparation of different solution concentrations. Solutions, on the other hand, are ready-to-use, enable precise dosing, reduce dust exposure, and can be much more practical in continuous or large-scale processes depending on the customer’s setup.
