Coatings, Inks & Construction

BENTONE® CT

Thixotropic additive suitable for aqueous coatings systems. It is used in building materials, such as mortar bases on lime, cement & gypsum, synthetic resin-bound plasters and low-cost emulsion paints. It is recommended for high PVC and general industrial coatings. It is highly recommended for concrete coating, grouts and plaster/stucco. It is a natural untreated, hectorite clay. Shelf life: 4 years. Benefits:Cost-effective and bacteria- & enzyme-resistantProvides stable shear-thinning viscosity and texture build over a wide temperature rangeIt improves slump or sag resistance and pumpability & workabilityIt acts as a suspending agent and prevents hard settlement 

BENTONE® HC

Rheological additive suitable for aqueous systems and building materials, such as mortar cement & gypsum. It is also used in ready-mixed plasters, high PVC coatings and paint detackification systems. It is highly recommended for grouts, concrete coating and plaster/stucco. It is a refined hectorite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Cost-effective thixotropic additive for filled systems It provides shear-thinning viscosity & stable and package rheology over a wide temperature range Improves slump or sag resistance It prevents hard settlement and possesses bacteria- and enzyme-resistance

BENTONE® WBS

Rheological additive suitable for waterborne decorative latex paints and gypsum plasters. It is also used in building materials such as mortars & renderings based on lime, cement and gypsum. It is recommended for water-reducible coatings and highly recommended for architectural- & concrete coating, grouts, plaster/stucco and tile adhesives. It is a beneficiated, high purity smectite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:It prevents settling of pigments and fillers Provides low- and mid-shear viscosity It enhances sag and slump resistanceIt offers improved workability and compatibility with other thickeners
