Magnesium Carbonate is commonly used across various industries as a free-flow enhancer and anti-caking agent. It helps prevent clumping in powdered and granulated products, ensuring smooth handling and consistent quality. By improving product stability and flowability, it supports efficient processing and packaging.
Key benefits of Magnesium Carbonate as Free-Flowing Agent:
Improve your glass and ceramic production with Lohtragon® C36 based on Magnesium Carbonate, which contributes to remarkable mechanical strength and optimized thermal stability. Additionally, it acts as a flux agent for the uniform crystallization of the glass ceramics, ensuring clarity and finish. These characteristics underscore its suitability as an effective material in producing high-quality glass ceramics. Get more information in our Info Sheet on Ceramics and Glass.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® C36 in Ceramics & Glass:
Enhance your chemical synthesis with Lohtragon® C36, an excellent carrier for organic peroxides and persulfates. Special product types demonstrate exceptional proficiency as desiccants, effectively maintaining anhydrous conditions and optimizing reaction yields and speeds. Our commitment as supplier to the highest purity standards ensures that no impurities cause the decomposition of your peroxides.
Key benefits of Magnesium Carbonate in Chemical Synthesis:
Magnesium Carbonate: Dedicated polyesters and polyethers are still not accessible through the direct synthesis of suitable acids with alcohols. For these applications we offer a wide range of transesterification catalysts. Using Lohtragon® C36 based on Magnesium Carbonate in transesterification processes demonstrates significant advantages, including enhanced reaction rates, higher yields, better control over the reaction conditions, reduced saponification side reactions, and easier recovery and recycling compared to conventional catalysts, underscoring their suitability and efficiency in transesterification processes.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® C36 in Catalysts:
Boost the athletic performance of your customers with our special chips-like type and powder version of Lohtragon® C36 Magnesium Carbonate. Both types powder and crushed chalk ensure the highest grip for all sport activities that require dry hands, such as climbing, bouldering, and weightlifting. It is 100% pure Magnesium Carbonate, without additives or artificial drying agents. It is most effective at drying your hands, improving your grip, and increasing friction performance. You can find additional information in the section Lohtragon® C36 CC Climbing Chalk.
