Premium Hatorite S482: Ideal Thickening Agent for Shampoo Formulations

In the dynamic world of cosmetic formulation, particularly within the realm of hair care products, the quest for innovative and effective ingredients is perpetual. Hemings is proud to introduce the Hatorite S482, a remarkable leap in the effectiveness and utility of thickening agents used in shampoos and other personal care items. This modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate stands out with its superior platelet structure, rendering it an indispensable ingredient for those seeking to elevate their product's performance and sensory attributes. The Hatorite S482 is not just another thickening agent; it is a multifunctional powerhouse designed to address and surpass the common challenges faced by formulators. Its unique composition allows it to serve as a protective gel, particularly in multicolor paints, indicating its versatility and efficiency across different applications. However, its benefits extend profoundly within the realm of shampoo manufacture, where it contributes to a more luxurious, creamy texture, significantly improving the application experience for the end-user. By integrating Hatorite S482 into shampoo formulas, manufacturers can achieve optimal viscosity, ensuring the product evenly distributes throughout the hair and scalp for maximum cleaning efficiency.

● 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.

Moreover, Hatorite S482's enhanced stabilization qualities are essential for maintaining the integrity of complex formulations that include a variety of active ingredients. This thickening agent ensures that each component remains evenly suspended, preventing separation over time and ensuring a consistent product performance from the first use to the last. Beyond its technical merits, utilizing Hatorite S482 can significantly contribute to the sensory appeal of shampoos. The ingredient's refined platelet structure creates a smooth, pleasant texture, transforming routine hair washing into a luxurious, pampering experience. This tactile enhancement, coupled with improved formula stability and performance, makes Hatorite S482 an exemplary choice for premium shampoo brands aiming to distinguish their products in a competitive market. In conclusion, the Hatorite S482 by Hemings embodies the next generation of thickening agents used in shampoos, offering unmatched benefits in terms of formula enhancement, consumer experience, and product stability. Its adoption can significantly elevate the quality and appeal of hair care products, underscoring a brand's commitment to excellence and innovation.
