Superior Methylcellulose Suspending Agent: Hatorite S482

In the dynamic world of paint formulations, the role of a robust suspending agent cannot be overstated. Hemings is proud to introduce its flagship product, Hatorite S482, a cutting-edge solution specifically designed to revolutionize the paint industry. This revolutionary product is not just any suspending agent; it is a specially modified synthetic magnesium aluminum silicate that boasts a pronounced platelet structure, ideal for creating protective gels in multicolor paint systems. Hatorite S482 stands out in the realm of paint additives due to its core ingredient, a meticulously engineered methylcellulose suspending agent. This component is pivotal in ensuring that pigments and fillers remain evenly distributed throughout the paint, preventing any undesirable settling or separation. Such uniform dispersion is crucial for maintaining the aesthetic appeal and long-term durability of paint applications, particularly when dealing with vibrant and multicolored palettes. Moreover, its unique chemical makeup offers enhanced binding properties, which significantly improves the paint's resistance to environmental factors and wear and tear, ensuring that colors remain vivid and surfaces stay protected for longer periods.

● 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 its technical prowess, Hatorite S482 is not merely a functional additive; it represents a symbiosis of science and art. Its unparalleled platelet structure facilitates a protective gel matrix within the paint formulation, acting as an armored shield against external aggressions such as UV rays, moisture, and physical abrasions. This protective mechanism is further bolstered by the inclusion of the high-performance methylcellulose suspending agent, which also contributes to the agent's remarkable thixotropic properties. This means that Hatorite S482-equipped paints can be applied with ease, offering a smooth, drip-free experience during application, which then solidifies into a robust, protective layer upon drying. In conclusion, Hatorite S482 by Hemings is not just an addition to the paint; it is a transformative element that elevates ordinary paint into a multifunctional protective coating, rich in color and resistant to decay. Its foundation in the science of a methylcellulose suspending agent ensures that it is not only a step ahead in paint technology but also a leap towards sustainability and durability in coatings. Hemings invites you to experience the future of paint with Hatorite S482, where every stroke is a stroke of genius, and every color is protected to last a lifetime.
