Advanced Thickening Agent Hatorite WE: Synthetic Bentonite Alternative

In the ever-evolving landscape of industrial formulation, the quest for more efficient, reliable, and versatile additives has led companies to seek alternatives that not only meet but exceed natural product performance. Enter Hemings' revolutionary product, Hatorite WE, a synthetic layered silicate with the identical chemical crystal structure as natural bentonite, redefining the standards for thickening agents in the industry. Hatorite WE emerges as a game-changer for formulations requiring superior rheological control and anti-settling properties. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this free-flowing white powder distinguishes itself through a series of impressive characteristics. With a bulk density of 1200~1400 kg·m-3 and a particle size where 95% is less than 250µm, Hatorite WE ensures a consistent texture and quality in every use. Notably, its loss on ignition stands between 9~11%, showcasing its stability and efficiency in diverse conditions. The pH level of a 2% suspension falls within the ideal range of 9~11, complemented by a conductivity of ≤1300 µS/cm, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into various waterborne formulations without disrupting the balance. The clarity time of less than 3 minutes in a 2% suspension underscores its ability to achieve a clear, aesthetically appealing solution rapidly, an essential criterion for high-quality coatings and paints.

Typical Characteristic:

---

Appearance	free flowing white powder
Bulk Density	1200~ 1400 kg ·m-3
Particle size	95%＜ 250μm
Loss on Ignition	9~ 11%
pH（2% suspension）	9~ 11
Conductivity（2% suspension）	≤1300
Clarity（2% suspension）	≤3min
Viscosity（5% suspension）	≥30,000 cPs
Gel strength（5% suspension）	≥ 20g ·min

● Applications

---

As an efficient rheological additive and suspension anti settling agent, it is very suitable for suspension anti settling,  thickening  and rheological control of the vast majority of waterborne formulation systems.

Coatings, Cosmetics, Detergent, Adhesive, Ceramic glazes,

Building materials (such as cement mortar, gypsum, pre mixed gypsum), Agrochemical(such as pesticide suspension), Oilfield, Horticultural products,

● Usage

---

It is recommended to prepare pre gel with 2-% solid content before adding it to the waterborne formulation systems. When preparing the pre gel, it is necessary to use a high shear dispersion method, with the pH controlled at 6~ 11, and the water used must be deionized water (and it is better to use warm water).

● Addition

---

It generally accounts for 0.2-2% of the quality of the entire waterborne formula systems;the optimal dosage needs to be tested before use.

● Storage

---

Hatorite® WE is hygroscopic and should be stored under dry condition.

● Package:

---

Packing detail as : powder in poly bag and pack inside the cartons; pallet as images

Packing: 25kgs/pack ( in HDPE bags or cartons , goods will be palletized and shrink wrapped.)

Furthermore, Hatorite WE demonstrates exceptional viscoelastic properties, with a viscosity of ≥30,000 cPs and gel strength of ≥20g·min in a 5% suspension. This highlights its potent thickening capability, making it an indispensable rheological additive for a wide range of applications. From paint to coatings, personal care products, and even in the agricultural sector, Hatorite WE proves its versatility and effectiveness as a suspension anti-settling agent, providing unmatched thickening and stability to formulations. Its ability to support the uniform dispersion of pigments and fillers, prevent sagging, and enhance shelf stability, all while maintaining optimal flow characteristics, positions Hatorite WE as a pivotal component in the development of advanced, water-based formulation systems. In conclusion, Hatorite WE stands as a testament to Hemings' commitment to innovation and excellence in the field of chemical additives. By offering a synthetic alternative that not only matches but in many aspects surpasses the performance of natural bentonite, Hatorite WE sets a new benchmark for thickening agents worldwide. It embodies the future of rheological control, providing formulators with a tool to enhance product performance, efficiency, and sustainability, thus driving the industry forward into new realms of possibility.
