High-Quality Chemical Thickening Agent for Paints - Hatorite S482

In the evolving world of paint production, the quest for an exceptional chemical thickening agent that not only offers superior viscosity control but also enhances the protective qualities of paint has led industry innovators to Hatorite S482. Developed by Hemings, this advanced solution is at the forefront of chemical engineering, bringing unmatched efficiency and reliability to paint manufacturers worldwide. Hatorite S482 is a meticulously modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate, renowned for its distinct platelet structure. This innovative composition is pivotal in its role as a thickening and stabilizing agent, ensuring consistent texture and optimal application properties in a wide range of paint products. Unlike conventional thickeners, Hatorite S482 stands out for its ability to maintain stability and performance under varied conditions, making it an ideal choice for multicolor paint systems. What sets Hatorite S482 apart is not just its effectiveness as a chemical thickening agent but also its contribution to the protective capabilities of paints. When incorporated into formulations, it significantly enhances the durability and resistance of paint coatings against environmental aggressors. This is particularly beneficial in extending the lifespan of painted surfaces, ensuring they remain vibrant and well-protected for longer periods. Moreover, its compatibility with various paint types, including water-based, solvent-based, and UV-curable systems, provides manufacturers with a versatile solution that can be adapted to meet diverse production needs.

● 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.
