Hatorite WE: Premium Carbomer Thickening Agent for Formulations

In the evolving landscape of industrial and consumer products, the demand for multifunctional and efficient ingredients has significantly risen. Hemings proudly introduces the Hatorite WE, a synthetic layered silicate with the identical chemical crystal structure as natural bentonite, engineered to meet and exceed the requirements of modern formulation science. As a premium carbomer thickening agent, Hatorite WE stands out for its unmatched rheological properties and its ability to seamlessly integrate into a variety of waterborne systems. Starting with its appearance, Hatorite WE is a free-flowing white powder, designed for ease of use in manufacturing and application processes. Its bulk density ranges from 1200 to 1400 kg·m-3, indicating its substantial consistency. The particle size distribution is finely controlled, with 95% of particles being smaller than 250μm, ensuring a smooth texture and consistent performance in final product formulations. Moreover, the loss on ignition is kept within the 9 to 11% range, highlighting the product's stability and purity. The pH level of a 2% suspension of Hatorite WE falls within the 9 to 11 range, making it an adaptable agent for various pH-sensitive formulations. Its conductivity is maintained below 1300, ensuring minimal ionic interference in complex formulations. Clarity, a critical parameter for aesthetic qualities in final products, is achieved in less than 3 minutes in a 2% suspension, demonstrating Hatorite WE's superior dispersion capabilities. When it comes to viscosity, Hatorite WE truly excels. A 5% suspension can reach viscosities of 30,000 cPs or higher, providing substantial thickening capabilities for a wide range of applications. Additionally, its gel strength in a 5% suspension surpasses 20g·min, offering formidable structuring capabilities that contribute to the stability and texture of final product formulations.

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.)
