Lohtragon® C46 is used in the lubricant industry as a viscosity control and thickening agent, particularly in the formulation of magnesium-based greases. It helps achieve the desired consistency and stability, ensuring reliable performance under various operating conditions. Its thickening properties contribute to improved lubrication and wear protection. This makes it an essential additive for high-performance grease formulations.
Key benefits of Magnesium Oxide in Lubricants:
Magnesium Oxide is used as a fluxing agent in the production of glass ceramics. It lowers the melting point of raw materials, promoting smoother melting and improved glass formation. This enhances the overall processing efficiency and contributes to the durability and thermal stability of the final product. Its role is essential in achieving high-quality glass ceramic materials.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® C46 in Ceramics & Glass:
Lohtragon® C46 is used in dental ceramics as a stabilizer and auxiliary material, particularly in the production of zirconia-based ceramics. It helps enhance the structural integrity and thermal stability of the material, ensuring long-lasting performance. By improving the sintering process, it contributes to the strength and durability of dental restorations. This makes it a valuable component in high-quality dental applications.
