Dipotassium Oxalate 1-hydrate is a highly effective etching agent for surface treatment applications. It enables controlled etching by selectively removing surface oxides, stains, and impurities from metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. This ensures clean, uniform surfaces and enhances the overall quality and appearance of treated materials. Its precision and reliability make it an essential choice for advanced metal processing and finishing.
Key benefits of Potassium Oxalate monohydrate in Surface Treatment:
Lohtragon® O16 is a versatile additive for chemical synthesis applications. It acts as a chelating agent, stabilizing metal ions to prevent unwanted side reactions and enhance process efficiency. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for heterogeneous catalysts, providing precise control over metal-catalyzed reactions. As a starting material for oxalate complexes, it enables the formation of stable and uniform catalysts with high selectivity and minimal side reactions, ensuring reliable performance in advanced chemical processes.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® O16 in Chemical Synthesis:
Dipotassium Oxalate 1-hydrate is an effective mordant for textile industry applications. It optimizes the fixation of dyes on fabrics, enabling stronger binding of dyes to textile fibers. This ensures deeper, more vibrant colors and enhances the quality and durability of dyed textiles, making it ideal for achieving high-performance results in textile processing.
