Premium Thixotropic Agent for Water-Based Inks - Hatorite WE

Introducing Hemings' revolutionary product - Hatorite WE, a synthetic layered silicate that mirrors the chemical and crystal structure of natural bentonite, specifically engineered to revolutionize the water-based inks industry. As an unparalleled thixotropic agent for water-based inks, Hatorite WE stands out for its exceptional properties and performance, making it an indispensable component in the formulation of superior water-based inks and coatings. Hatorite WE is presented as a free-flowing white powder, designed to seamlessly blend into your formulations, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture. With a bulk density of 1200~1400 kg·m-3 and a particle size where 95% is smaller than 250μm, it guarantees ease of use and superior dispersion capabilities. The meticulous control over its physical attributes, such as a loss on ignition of 9~11% and a pH range of 9~11 for a 2% suspension, ensures it meets stringent quality standards, making it a reliable choice for manufacturers.

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.)

But what truly sets Hatorite WE apart is its multifunctionality within water-based systems. As a thixotropic agent for water-based inks, it offers unparalleled efficiency in rheological modification, contributing to enhanced viscosity (>30,000 cPs for a 5% suspension) and impressive gel strength (>20g·min for a 5% suspension). These characteristics are pivotal for achieving optimal print quality, preventing ink sagging or running, and ensuring sharp, clean print lines on various substrates. Moreover, its ability to act as an anti-settling agent, combined with its high clarity (≤3min for a 2% suspension) and low conductivity (≤1300 for a 2% suspension), makes it a versatile solution not just for inks but also for an extensive range of waterborne formulation systems. Whether for thickening, rheological control, or enhancing suspension properties, Hatorite WE provides comprehensive benefits that go beyond the ordinary, setting new standards in the industry. In summary, Hemings' Hatorite WE is not just another additive; it is a game-changer for manufacturers seeking to push the boundaries of what's possible with water-based inks and coatings. Its advanced properties and multifunctional capabilities underscore its position as the ultimate thixotropic agent for water-based inks, offering not just superior performance but also the promise of innovation and quality in every drop.
