Hectorite Clay: Enhance Multicolor Paints with Hatorite S482
● 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.

At its core, Hectorite S482 harnesses the power of hectorite clay, a naturally occurring mineral known for its exceptional rheological properties. This distinct component is meticulously synthesized with magnesium and aluminum silicates, resulting in a product that not only serves as a robust protective gel but also enhances the vibrancy and durability of paint applications. The platelet structure of this compound plays a critical role in its effectiveness, forming a protective barrier that shields the paint from environmental factors, thereby extending the lifespan of the paint’s vibrant hues and finish. Beyond its protective capabilities, Hatorite S482 excels as a facilitator of smoother, more uniform paint applications. The thixotropic nature of hectorite clay allows for ease of application, reducing drips and providing a consistent texture that painters and manufacturers alike will appreciate. This, coupled with its compatibility with a variety of paint types, makes Hatorite S482 an indispensable ally in the pursuit of perfection in paint projects. Whether used in automotive paints, architectural coatings, or artistic endeavors, Hatorite S482 delivers unmatched protection, enhanced durability, and superior finish, ensuring that your multicolor paint projects reach new heights of excellence.
