Hatorite S482: Advanced Thickening Agent Ingredients for Paints
● 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.

In the realm of paint protection, the role of thickening agent ingredients cannot be overstated. They are crucial for enhancing the viscosity, stability, and performance of paint, ensuring that it adheres properly to surfaces, maintains its color fidelity, and withstands the test of time. Hatorite S482 excels in these areas, providing a robust solution that painters and manufacturers can depend on. Its advanced formula promotes improved paint consistency, enabling easier application and creating a smoother, more durable finish. Moreover, the platelet structure of Hatorite S482 contributes to an exceptional barrier against environmental factors, resisting moisture, UV rays, and chemical abrasions more effectively than traditional options. Delving deeper into the science behind Hatorite S482, we uncover the meticulous balance of lithium, magnesium, sodium, and silicate components. This blend not only enhances the thickening properties of the ingredient but also significantly improves the overall performance of the paint. The ingredient's compatibility with a variety of paint types, including water-based, solvent-based, and UV-curable systems, makes it a versatile choice for numerous applications. Furthermore, its environmental profile is commendable, offering a more sustainable option for eco-conscious manufacturers and consumers aiming to minimize their ecological impact. With Hatorite S482, Hemings stands at the forefront of paint technology, delivering a product that not only meets the demands of today's market but also anticipates the needs of tomorrow's world.
