Premium Thickening Additive - Hatorite WE Silicate Solution

In today’s sophisticated and ever-evolving market, Hemings is proud to introduce our revolutionary product, Hatorite WE, an advanced synthetic layered silicate that closely mimics the chemical and crystal structure of natural bentonite. This state-of-the-art thickening additive is engineered to elevate the performance of your waterborne formulation systems to unprecedented levels, offering both efficiency and versatility in application. Appearance and Composition: Hatorite WE presents itself as a free-flowing, white powder, meticulously designed to blend seamlessly into your formulations. With a bulk density ranging from 1200 to 1400 kg·m^-3 and over 95% of its particles sized below 250µm, it ensures a consistent and predictable performance. Its loss on ignition falls within the range of 9 to 11%, with a pH level of 9 to 11 in a 2% suspension, highlighting its thermal stability and compatibility with a wide range of pH environments. The electrical conductivity is kept below 1300 in a 2% suspension, ensuring minimal ionic interactions that could affect the stability of your formulations. Optimizing Rheological Properties: The true power of Hatorite WE lies in its exceptional ability to enhance the rheological properties of waterborne systems. Upon incorporating Hatorite WE as a thickening additive, the viscosity of a 5% suspension can reach or exceed 30,000 cPs, with a gel strength of over 20g·min, marking a monumental improvement in the formulation's structure and stability. This not only prevents sedimentation and ensures a uniform distribution of particles but also significantly enhances the application properties, providing a smoother, more consistent texture that is highly desirable in paints, coatings, and personal care products.

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.)
