Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate

Product Data

Industrial Applications
We offer a special Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate type (16674-78-5) exclusively from the german manufacturer Dr. Paul Lohmann®. Our Lohtragon® K19 is characterized by a high purity, high solubility and optimized flow properties. The especially free-flowing powder shows accurate dosing behavior and a very low tendency to lump.
Application-wise, Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate | Lohtragon® K19 offers a wide range of industrial applications. Here some typical usages:

Automotive Catalyst: A Precursor in High-Performance Wash Coats
Catalytic converters reduce vehicle emissions into harmless substances using products like Lohtragon® K19. With its cation-based activator and acetate anion for optimized thermal decomposition, it improves the wash coat performance. Due to its optimal properties, it contributes to more efficient and stable catalysts, making it a preferred precursor for high-performance catalysts.
Glass & Ceramics: Lohtragon® K19 for Clear and Defect-free Glass
Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate improves glass melt homogenization, ensuring even distribution of components and reducing bubbles and inclusions for a uniform, high-quality product. It lowers the melting point, enabling fusion at reduced temperatures and enhancing thus process efficiency. Consequently, it is the optimal raw material for producing clear, defect-free glass.
Adhesives: Revolutionizing Performance and Durability
Lohtragon® K19 is used in adhesive applications primarily to adjust the adhesive's pH level, optimizing properties like setting time and bond strength. It can act as a crosslinking agent, extending the adhesive's durability. Its catalytic properties speed up the hardening process, essential for fast-setting adhesives. Absorbing moisture, it contributes to stabilize the adhesive's performance also in humid conditions.
Polymer Additives: Magnesium acetate serves multiple roles in polymerization
It catalyzes processes for controlled molecular weight and mechanical properties, acts as a stabilizer against degradation, and functions as a crosslinking agent to strengthen polymers. It also adjusts physical properties like plasticity and viscosity, allowing the customization of materials for various applications.
