Premium Hectorite Clay-Based Protective Gel for Paints | Hemings

Introducing Hemings' revolutionary product, the Hatorite S482, a cutting-edge solution meticulously designed for the paint industry, leveraging the unique properties of hectorite clay. This product stands as a testament to Hemings' commitment to innovation and excellence in delivering unparalleled performance in paint protection and enhancement. At the heart of Hatorite S482 lies its foundation in a modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate, renowned for its pronounced platelet structure. This structure is pivotal in its role as a protective gel, specifically formulated to safeguard and enhance the visual appeal of multicolor paints. The key ingredient, hectorite clay, is celebrated for its exceptional rheological properties, offering unmatched stability and viscosity control. This ensures that paints not only retain their vibrant color and finish over time but also provide a smoother, more consistent application. The brilliance of Hatorite S482 extends beyond its protective capabilities. The incorporation of lithium magnesium sodium silicate into its composition further elevates its performance, creating a barrier that defends against environmental factors and the wear and tear of daily life. This innovative blend makes Hatorite S482 an essential component for any paint formulation seeking to offer durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential interiors to commercial exteriors, ensuring that every space is imbued with color that lasts.

● 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.
