Magnesium Nitrate 6-hydrate is a versatile additive for chemical synthesis applications. It serves as an efficient transesterification catalyst, offering enhanced control and ease of recovery compared to conventional catalysts. Acting as an oxidizing agent, its nitrate ions enable controlled oxidation of organic and inorganic compounds, ensuring precision in synthetic processes. Additionally, it functions as a precursor for magnesium-supported heterogeneous catalysts, contributing to uniform particle distribution, high stability, and improved activity in polymerization and petrochemical refining.
Key benefits of Magnesium Nitrate in Chemical Synthesis:
Lohtragon® O41 is used in plant nutrition as an important micronutrient in foliar fertilizers. It provides essential magnesium and nitrogen, both of which are crucial for photosynthesis and overall plant growth. Applied directly to the leaves, it ensures rapid nutrient uptake and efficiently corrects magnesium deficiencies. Its high solubility and effectiveness make it a valuable component in modern agricultural processes.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® O41 in Crop Care:
Magnesium Nitrate 6-hydrate is a valuable fluxing agent for ceramics and glass applications. It reduces the melting point of raw materials, saving energy and improving manufacturing efficiency. Additionally, it enhances material workability by promoting better flow and fusion during high-temperature processing, ensuring uniform consistency and high-quality finished products.
