    Lohtragon® K91 in Chemical Synthesis

    Lohtragon® K91, based on Magnesium Acetate, delivers magnesium ions that help stabilize transition states, lower activation energy, and accelerate reaction speeds without being consumed in the process. It serves as a flexible catalyst precursor for various reactions, such as polyester production, transesterification, nitrogen oxide reduction in exhaust gases, and the breakdown of organic compounds. Summarized the key benefits of Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate in chemical synthesis are:

    • Enhanced reaction rates and higher yields
    • Controlled reaction conditions
    • An easier recycling compared to conventional catalysts

    Magnesium Acetate Solution for Electroplating and Surface Treatment

    In electroplating and metal finishing, Lohtragon® K91 acts as a magnesium ion source, maintaining a consistent release of ions in electroplating baths. It functions as a mild buffer to regulate pH, ensuring even deposition and enhancing the quality of the coating. Magnesium ions contribute to better corrosion resistance by forming a protective layer, thus improving durability and adhesion, especially in multi-layered coatings. Benefit from:

    • Consistent, uniform, high-quality coatings
    • Controlled release of magnesium ions, ensuring consistent deposition rates and surface coverage
    • Improved corrosion resistance of plated surfaces
    • Optimized adhesion in multi-layer coatings

    Magnesium Acetate Solution for pH Regulation in Biochemical Reactions

    Lohtragon® K91 is used as a buffering agent in biochemical environments, where it helps maintain stable pH levels and provides magnesium ions necessary for enzymatic processes. It supports critical biological functions such as DNA and protein synthesis, as well as various metabolic pathways. By stabilizing the pH and supplying vital ions, it enhances the efficiency and consistency of enzyme-catalyzed reactions in biotechnology, leading to:

    • A mild buffering effect, while not interfering with sensitive reaction components, helping to stabilize the pH and creating a more controlled environment, ensuring the enzyme operates at peak efficiency
    • Facilitating the catalytic activity of numerous enzymes, enabling such kind of reactions relying on magnesium
