- • Smooth brush and roller application
- • Excellent leveling properties
- • Reduced spattering during use
Superior Suspension
Keeps pigments and fillers uniformly distributed throughout the paint, preventing settling and separation.
- • Prevents pigment settling
- • Maintains color consistency
- • Extends shelf life
Precise Viscosity Control
Provides accurate and repeatable viscosity adjustment for consistent paint performance across batches.
- • Predictable rheological properties
- • Easy formulation adjustment
- • Consistent batch-to-batch performance
Temperature Stability

How to Use Our Thickening Agents
Simple incorporation procedures ensure optimal performance and consistent results in your paint formulations.
Step-by-Step Process
Pre-dispersion
Add organic bentonite to the solvent phase while stirring. Use high-shear mixing for optimal dispersion.
Activation
Add polar activator (if required) to achieve full gel development. Mix for 5-10 minutes.
Incorporation
Add remaining paint components including pigments, resins, and additives. Continue mixing until homogeneous.
Final Adjustment
Adjust viscosity if needed and perform quality checks. The paint is ready for application.
Typical Dosage Rates
Tips for Best Results
Proper Mixing
Use high-shear mixing equipment for complete dispersion and optimal gel development.
Mixing Time
Allow sufficient mixing time (25-30 minutes) for complete activation and gel formation.
Storage
Store in dry conditions at 0-30°C. Shelf life is 24 months when properly stored.
