A new inorganic rheological additive
A sophisticated dispersion process gurantuees a unique range of properties for this rheological inorganic additive. The nearly full-activated Hectorite is present in a solid binder- and plasticizer-matrix and is available in a granulated delivery form. The material is dedicated for solvent borne applications and offers the following important advantages:
… in comparison with the traditional gel preparation:
- easy dosing and handling
- a serious reduction of application time and consequently of production costs
- requires less stock-space and offers an advantageous longer lifetime
… in comparison with the technical state of art regarding the application in lacquers and paints:
- a significant increase of viscosity and the thixotropy effect
- an optimized storing stability and anti-settling performance
- a nearly colourless appearance and constant transparency
- an excellent improvement of gloss
- thanks to the above mentioned advantages a serious reduction in additive concentration
