It is suitable for thickening and control of workability and flow of mineral-based construction systems. Applications Mineral-based construction systems such as Lime/cement renderings and mortars, Gypsum plasters, Exteriour Insulation and Finishing Systems, Gypsum anhydrate floorings, Joint fillers, Tile adhesives BENTONE OC hectorite clay -is a cost-effective thixotropic agent for mineral-based construction systems, improves ease of application and surface smoothness, increases sag resistance and softness, decreases pumping pressure and stickiness on tools, avoids sedimentation and bleeding, is stable against bacteria and enzymes. The addition levels are system-dependent. In plasters usually 0.1–0.3% is used.
