Hatorite S482: Premier Gelatin Thickening Agent 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.

The essence of Hatorite S482 lies in its unique platelet structure, a result of cutting-edge modifications to traditional lithium magnesium sodium silicate. This structural innovation enables Hatorite S482 not just to thicken but to enhance the texture and consistency of paint, ensuring smooth application and durable finish. The role of a gelatin thickening agent goes beyond mere viscosity control; it is about elevating the paint's protective capabilities while optimizing the color and luminosity of the finish. Hatorite S482 excels in this multifaceted role, offering paint manufacturers a versatile solution that addresses the complex demands of modern paint formulations. Moreover, the application of Hatorite S482 in multicolor paints unlocks a spectrum of benefits. It significantly improves the suspension of pigments, preventing sedimentation, and ensuring a uniform distribution of color throughout the paint. This attribute is crucial for achieving consistent aesthetic appeal, especially in applications where color integrity is paramount. Additionally, Hatorite S482 enhances the protective qualities of paints, forming a robust barrier against environmental aggressors. This protective gel layer shields the underlying surfaces from moisture, UV radiation, and chemical pollutants, extending the life and vibrancy of the paint. In the competitive realm of paint production, where innovation and performance drive success, Hemings’ Hatorite S482 emerges as the gelatin thickening agent of choice for manufacturers aiming to exceed expectations and captivate markets with superior quality paints.
