Lohtragon® B98 based on Diammonium Citrate solution is a multifunctional additive that enhances surface treatment processes. Acting as a conductivity enhancer, buffering agent, and complexing agent, it prevents precipitation and ensures a uniform distribution of metal ions in the solution. This results in even coating thickness, more efficient deposition processes, and extended bath life - making it a valuable component for achieving high-quality surface finishes.
Key benefits of Diammonium Citrate solution in Surface Treatment:
Diammonium Citrate solution serves as a versatile auxiliary material in chemical synthesis. Its role as a buffering agent and catalyst stabilizer ensures controlled pH levels, leading to precise and efficient reactions. By enhancing stability throughout chemical processes, it supports consistent results and improved overall performance in industrial applications.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® B98 in Chemical Synthesis:
Aqueous solutions provide clear operational advantages compared to solid products. Many industrial processes rely on chemicals in dissolved form. When using powders, production must begin with a dissolution step, followed by concentration checks and potential adjustments. Lohtragon® B98 Aqueous Solution is delivered at your specified concentration, ready for direct integration into your process. Concentration levels can be tailored precisely to your operational requirements. In addition to process efficiency, aqueous solutions can support sustainability goals. Although transport emissions per ton may be higher due to water content, eliminating energy-intensive drying steps significantly reduces the overall product carbon footprint.

Our detailed product and production knowledge allows us to adapt the chemical and physical properties of our metal salts in line with their intended purpose, depending on where and how they are to be used, and to develop individual processes and solutions in collaboration with our customers. Get an idea about our extensive R&D capabilities and benefit from new developments and custom specifications.
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.
They are produced at our manufacturing facilities in Germany.
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.
