Rheology Additives for Vibrant Paints: Hatorite S482

In the realm of paint production and formulation, achieving the optimal consistency and stability is paramount for high-quality finishes. Hemings introduces the Hatorite S482, a superior lithium magnesium sodium silicate, redefining the standards of paint protection and enhancement. This product stands out as a pivotal ingredient, specifically formulated to cater to the needs of multicolor paint systems. Embedded with the innovative prowess of modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate, Hatorite S482 emerges as a groundbreaking solution in the paint industry, offering unmatched rheology additives qualities. The distinguished platelet structure of Hatorite S482 marks a significant advancement in the realm of protective gels. This unique characteristic ensures a seamless and even distribution within the paint matrix, resulting in improved sag resistance and leveling properties. The application of Hatorite S482 in multicolor paint systems not only enhances the visual appeal but also contributes significantly to the durability and longevity of the paint. By incorporating this cutting-edge technology, paint manufacturers can promise their customers a product that remains vibrant and resilient against the tests of time and environmental factors.

● 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.

Delving deeper into the science behind Hatorite S482, its role as a rheology additive becomes increasingly evident. The term 'rheology additives' refers to substances added to products to modify their flow properties. In the context of paint, rheology additives like Hatoride S482 play a crucial role in achieving the desired thickness, spreading capability, and stabilization of the color pigments. This ensures that the paint not only applies smoothly to surfaces but also retains its color consistency and resistance to settling or separation. Moreover, the environmental resilience of Hatorite S482 empowers paint formulations to withstand moisture, UV exposure, and temperature changes, safeguarding the aesthetic integrity and protective capabilities of the paint over time. Hatorite S482's arrival in the market marks a new era for paint manufacturers and consumers alike. By embracing the advanced rheology additives offered by Hemings, the paint industry can look forward to products that offer superior protection, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. Whether it’s for residential homes, commercial buildings, or artistic endeavors, Hatorite S482 is poised to become an indispensable ally in the quest for perfection in paint formulation and application.
