    Magnesium Oxide in Lubricants

    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:

    • Improves grease consistency and thermal stability
      • Functions as a thickener to ensure viscosity remains stable under heat and shear stress.
    • Enhances lubrication and reduces wear
      • Contributes to smoother operation and longer equipment life by minimizing friction.
    • Stabilizes formulation under variable conditions
      • Supports grease performance across a wide range of industrial environments.

    Lohtragon® C46 in Ceramics & Glass

    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:

    • Reduces melting point and enhances sintering
      • Acts as a fluxing agent to improve energy efficiency and material densification.
    • Enables precision machining and high mechanical strength
      • Produces robust, fine-grained glass ceramics with excellent thermal and structural properties.
    • Delivers exceptional optical purity
      • Ideal for clear or white ceramics due to its exceptionally low impurity profile.

    Magnesium Oxide in Dental Ceramics

    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.

    Key benefits of Magnesium Oxide in Dental Ceramics:

    • Stabilizes zirconia ceramics at high temperatures
      • Supports phase stability during sintering, improving mechanical strength.
    • Improves optical and structural characteristics
      • Contributes to aesthetically pleasing and high-performing dental restorations.
    • Enhances sintering performance
      • Promotes uniform grain growth and strength during ceramic processing.
