We offer trace elements that are processed in very small concentrations in diluted form as triturations. In these products, the minerals are dispersed in an inert carrier such as maltodextrin, calcium carbonate or sodium citrate in specific concentrations. This ensures simple and safe handling, lower toxicity (e.g. in the case of selenium) and a precise dosage of the trace element.

Sodium salts are among the oldest salts ever used by mankind. Sodium chloride, popularly known as "salt", has been used to season and preserve food since the Stone Age. Other compounds of sodium are chemicals used since ancient times, such as soda (Sodium Carbonate) and Sodium Nitrate. For centuries, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) has been used as a starting material for soap.

For us as a manufacturer, sodium takes a key position due to its numerous useful compounds. In particular, in pharmaceutical and medicinal applications, sodium salts play an important and diverse role. For example, sodium citrate is used as an anticoagulant in blood bags. Sodium Acetate is used in the fractionation of blood plasma. And noteworthy Sodium Chloride and other sodium compounds are used in the production of infusion and injection solutions. We can manufacture sodium salts in various purities and in accordance with many pharmacopoeias. Product qualities especially low in endotoxins are one of our specialties.

In the food and nutritional supplement industry, our sodium salts are put to diverse use as excipients, buffers, emulsifiers and to improve shelf life.

In our LomaSalt^® product range, we reduce the sodium content by means of other mineral salts such as potassium, using scientific knowledge of nutrition to improve the product's health aspects.

It is hard to imagine the field of personal care without sodium salts. They are used in a high number of applications as buffers, chelating agents, humectants and preservatives.

We offer various sodium salts in specific particle sizes for technical applications. Sodium compounds are employed as endothermic blowing agents for the production of gypsum plaster and for plasma welding.

The matrix below provides an overview of our sodium salts.

Aluminum salts are primarily used in personal care products. They have multiple deodorizing and antiperspirant properties.

Aluminum salts are also used in the production of PVA glues.

Ammonium salts find a variety of uses in cosmetics and body hygiene products. Examples include, Ammonium Lactate with skincare properties and while Dimmonium Citrate as chelating agent.

The electroplating industry exploits the chelating action of ammonium citrate coupled with its high water solubility.

Copper is an important trace element that helps to ensure healthy skin, hair and nails, among other things. In addition, copper is involved in numerous different enzymatic synthesizing and metabolic processes in the body⁴. There appears to be a connection between Alzheimer's disease and the level of copper in blood plasma⁵.

Furthermore, copper compounds produce predominantly green pigments for coloring ceramics.

For decades, lithium has been successfully used in psychiatry for the treatment of manic-depressive disorders. Lithium therapy has even been known to prevent suicides⁶.

In addition, ceramic-based catalyst surfaces are doped with lithium to produce active vacancies.

Manganese is an essential trace element and is required, in particular, for many enzymatic processes. These include, for example, gluconeogenesis and insulin production. Lipid metabolism and blood clotting are also dependent on manganese⁴.

In addition, manganese compounds are excellent bleach activators for persulfate and percarbonate-based bleaching agents.

Studies have shown that strontium plays a vital role in maintaining strong, healthy bones in the advanced years of life⁷. Strontium makes fireworks red and is a doping metal for inorganic dyes.

Iodine is an indispensable element of the thyroid hormone (iodotyronine). This in turn triggers numerous essential metabolic processes, as well as human growth and cognitive development⁴.

Selenium has important antioxidant functions in the body. In addition, selenium stimulates the immune system and inhibits the growth of tumors^{8, 9}.

Chromium potentiates the action of insulin and is therefore an important factor in the body's metabolism of glucose. Levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the body also depend on an adequate intake of chromium⁴.

Molybdenum is an important cofactor in a range of enzymatic metabolic processes. For example, molybdenum is responsible for the breakdown of purines and various amino acids⁴.
