    Calcium Nitrate 4-hydrate for Latex Polymerization

    Lohtragon® O43, which is based on Calcium Nitrate 4-hydrate (CAS No. 13477-34-4), plays an essential role in the production of high-quality safety gloves, e.g. against cuts or high-voltage shocks. It facilitates the coagulation of latex during polymerization, creating a strong, uniform layer around glove molds. By using Lohtragon® O43 in multiple dips of latex emulsion, manufacturers can control the thickness of the gloves with precision. This ensures that the gloves meet strict safety requirements, making them ideal for industrial uses.

    Summarized the benefits of Calcium Nitrate 4-hydrate in the field of latex polymerization are:

    • A particularly homogeneous, firm latex layer around the blank
    • Enhanced protective layer for safety glove production
    • High quality end products, fulfilling tight safety standards

    Lohtragon® O43 in Polymer Additives

    In emulsion polymerization, Lohtragon® O43 | Calcium Nitrate 4-hydrate serves as an efficient emulsion breaker, assisting in the recovery of polymers.

    Frequently asked questions about this product

    What is Calcium Nitrate?

    Calcium Nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) is an inorganic calcium salt of nitric acid. It appears as a white, hygroscopic crystalline solid, is highly soluble in water, and has no distinct odor.

    What is Calcium Nitrate used for and why?

    • Latex environments: ensures uniform coagulation of latex, enabling precise glove thickness and strong protective layers.
    • Polymer processes: acts as an emulsion breaker, recovering polymers efficiently and improving production yield.
    • Crop care: applied as a fast-acting foliar fertilizer, supplying both calcium and nitrate for healthy plant growth.

    Where is our Calcium Nitrate produced?

    It is produced at our manufacturing facilities in Germany.

    What is special about our Calcium Nitrate?

    • Over 135 years of expertise in mineral and specialty salts
    • Exclusive production in Germany with strict quality control
    • Low and consistently monitored heavy metal content
    • Full batch traceability and transparent supply chain
    • Compliance with EU REACH and food-contact regulations where applicable

    What is the difference between liquid and solid Calcium Nitrate?

    Crystalline forms (solids) are easier to store, transport with lower weight, and allow flexible preparation of solutions in different concentrations. Liquid solutions are ready-to-use, allow precise dosing, reduce dust exposure, and can be more practical in continuous or large-scale processes depending on the customer’s requirements.

    Food contact and special applications of Calcium Nitrate

    Certain grades of Calcium Nitrate can meet food-contact requirements. Our experts advise on conformity with applicable regulations for food-related uses.
