Hatorite S482: Advanced Rheology Additives for Paint Protection

In the realm of innovative paint technology, Hemings is at the forefront with its groundbreaking product, Hatorite S482. This state-of-the-art product stands as a testament to the advancements in rheology additives, offering unparalleled protection and enhancement for multicolor paints. The Hatorite S482 is a meticulously modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate, renowned for its unique platelet structure, which plays a pivotal role in its effectiveness as a rheology additive in the paint industry. Rheology additives, such as Hatorite S482, are integral components in the formulation of protective gels and paints. They are designed to improve the flow and consistency of paint, ensuring a smooth application process and a flawless finish. The unique platelet structure of Hatorite S482 offers exceptional thixotropic properties, which means it provides a gel-like consistency under static conditions and becomes more fluid when agitated or applied with a brush. This characteristic is highly desirable in paint formulations as it aids in the ease of application, enhances the stability of the paint on vertical surfaces without sagging, and contributes to the durability of the paint film once cured.

● Description

---

Hatorite S482 is a modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate with pronounced platelet structure. When dispersed in water, Hatorite S482 forms a transparent, pourable liquid up to a concentration of 25% solids. In resin formulations, however, significant thixotropy and a high yield value can be incorporated.

● General Information

---

Due to its good dispersability, HATORTITE S482 can be used as a powder additive in high gloss and transparent waterborne products. The preparation of pumpable 20-25% pregels of Hatorite® S482 is also possible. It must be observed, however, that during the production of a (for example) 20% pregel, the viscosity can be high at first and therefore the material should be added slowly to the water. A 20% gel, however, shows good flow properties after 1 hour. By using HATORTITE S482, stable systems can be produced. Due to the Thixotropic characteristics

of this product, the application properties are significantly improved. HATORTITE S482 prevents settling of heavy pigments or fillers. As a Thixotropic agent, HATORTITE S482 reduces sagging and allows the application of thick coatings. HATORTITE S482 can be used to thicken and stabilize emulsion paints. Depending on the requirements, between 0.5% and 4% of HATORTITE S482 should be used (based on total formulation). As a Thixotropic anti-settling agent, HATORTITE S482 can also be used in: adhesives, emulsion paints, sealants, ceramics, grinding pastes, and water reducible systems.

● Recommended Use

---

Hatorite S482 may be utilised as a pre-dispersed liquid concentrate and added to formulations at anv point during manufacture. It is used to impart a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of water borne formulations including industrial surface coatings, household cleaners, agrochemical products and ceramic. HatoriteS482 dispersions may be coated onto paper or other surfaces to give smooth,coherent,and electrically conductive films.

Aqueous dispersions of this grade will remain as stable liquids for very long periods of time.Recommended for use in highly filled surface coatings that have low levels of free water.Also for use in non-rheology applications,such as electrically conductive and barrier films.
