BENTONE HC additive can be used to prepare high concentration dispersions of refined hectorite that develop their full viscosity in the final filled system. Applications Filled systems such as- Building materials, such as mortar cement and gypsum ,Ready-mixed plasters, Water-borne adhesives,Household cleaners and polishes, Crop protection agents, Ceramic compounds and glazes,Unfilled systems such as- Paint detackification systems Key Properties BENTONE HC rheological additive- is a cost-effective thixotropic ,Additive for filled aqueous systems, provides shear-thinning viscosity and stable, package rheology over a wide temperature range, improves slump or sag resistance, does not retard drying; has fast water release, acts as suspending agent, preventing hard Levels of Use The level of addition depends on the desired properties of the system. Typical levels range from 0.3–2.0 %
