Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate in pharmaceutical applications

Magnesium Acetate 4-Hydrate from the supplier Dr. Paul Lohmann® is produced under stringent GMP standards, ensuring exceptional quality and safety. Featuring excellent solubility, it is available in a high-quality, low-endotoxin grade, specifically designed for parenteral applications.

Typical pharmaceutical applications of Magnesium Acetate Tetrahydrate:

Parenteral nutrition:
For patients unable to ingest food orally, parenteral nutrition provides a crucial alternative by delivering nutrients directly into the bloodstream. The correct dosage of each nutrient is essential in this method. Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate is an indispensable component of parenteral nutrition, significantly contributing to the holistic care of patients by meeting their essential magnesium requirements. This reliable source of magnesium promotes numerous health benefits, from cardiovascular support to improved muscle and bone health.
Dialysis:
Dialysis is a life-saving procedure for individuals with kidney failure, removing waste products and excess substances from the blood. Ensuring the right balance of electrolytes in dialysis solutions it is crucial for the patient's overall health and well-being. Magnesium Acetate 4-Hydrate plays a vital role in dialysis solutions, providing a reliable source of magnesium necessary for patients undergoing dialysis.

Magnesium Acetate 4-hydrate in 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.
