    Disodium Carbonate in Lubricant Formulations

    Lohtragon® E11 is a multifunctional additive in the formulation of industrial lubricants, greases, and technical pastes. Acting as a pH regulator, thickening agent, and dispersion aid, it supports the production of stable, high-performance greases used in demanding mechanical and automotive environments. Its buffering capacity and compatibility with metal soap thickeners make it especially valuable in saponification processes.

    By enhancing structural integrity and consistency, Lohtragon® E11 contributes to extended lubricant life, better thermal resistance, and improved process reliability during manufacturing.

    Key Benefits of Lohtragon® E11 in Lubricants:

    • Stable pH control in grease formulations
    • Improved thickening and texture consistency
    • Enhanced dispersion of thickeners and active ingredients
    • Support in saponification for metal soap-based greases
    • Optimized processing and shear stability

    Disodium Carbonate in Chemical Synthesis

    Lohtragon® E11 is a versatile component in chemical synthesis, serving as a fluxing agent for metal oxide catalyst preparations. It enhances process efficiency by promoting the removal of impurities from metal ores, allowing them to form easily separable slag. This not only improves the purity of the final product but also streamlines operations, making it a valuable additive in industrial catalyst and metal refinement processes.

    Key benefits of Lohtragon® E11 in Chemical Synthesis:

    • Promotes efficient removal of impurities during catalyst and metal oxide synthesis
    • Facilitates slag formation for easier metal purification
    • Improves overall process throughput and final product quality

    Lohtragon® E11 in Glass & Ceramics

    Sodium Carbonate, anhydrous is widely used as a flux agent in various chemical reactions, particularly in the production of glass and ceramics. As a fluxing agent, it lowers the melting point of raw materials, facilitating the formation of a homogeneous molten mixture at lower temperatures. This reduction in melting temperature makes the manufacturing process more energy-efficient and cost-effective.

    Key benefits of Disodium Carbonate, anhydrous in Glass & Ceramics:

    • Acts as a flux, lowering melting temperatures and reducing energy use
    • Ensures homogeneous melt formation for high-quality glass and ceramics
    • Increases production efficiency and product consistency

Additionally, Lohtragon® E11 serves as a pH adjuster, helping to neutralize acidic soils and improve the overall efficacy of cleaning formulations. Its ability to effectively tackle tough stains and maintain cleaner, softer fabrics makes it a staple in many household cleaning products.

    Key benefits of Lohtragon® E11 in Home Care & Cleaning:

    • Softens water to boost detergent performance
    • Breaks down grease, grime, and mineral deposits
    • Neutralizes acidic residues to improve overall cleaning efficacy
    • Supports pH control and formulation stability in household products

    Lohtragon® E11 in Construction Industry

    Sodium Carbonate, anhydrous is used in concrete mixtures as a set accelerator. By promoting faster hydration of cement, it speeds up the setting and hardening process of concrete, which can be particularly beneficial in cold weather conditions where curing times are typically longer. This accelerant effect helps reduce the waiting time for concrete to reach sufficient strength, allowing for quicker construction progress. Additionally, the use of Sodium Carbonate, anhydrous can enhance early strength development in concrete, making it a useful additive in projects where rapid setting is essential.

    Key benefit of Disodium Carbonate, anhydrous in Construction Industry:

    • Accelerates cement hydration, enabling faster concrete setting
    • Enhances early strength development in cold weather conditions
    • Reduces construction downtime by shortening curing time
