Coatings, Inks & Construction

BENAQUA® 4000

Rheology additive designed for lower-gloss and matt latex- & dry fall paints. It is also used in textured, spray applied, high-build, architectural exterior & flat, can and concrete coatings. It is recommended for road marking paints, plasterboard coatings, primers/sealers and semi-gloss latices. It is a modified smectite hectorite clay-based finely divided polymer. Shelf life: 2 years. Benefits:Provides high viscosity in the low to medium-shear-rate regionIt gives superior sag resistance at low package viscosity and improved shear-thinning rheologyIt offers paints a richer appearance, excellent suspension and enhanced textured & stippling effects (roller or spray applied) Good freeze/thaw stability

BENGEL® 434

Rheological modifier designed for low to medium polarity solvent-based coatings. It finds application in interior/exterior architectural, industrial, protective and anti-corrosive coatings. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Controls sag, flooding and floating of colorsHelps to stabilize the paint

It is used in trade sales paints, varnishes, light industrial finishes, asphaltic based coatings, general industrial maintenance and marine coatings. It is highly recommended for decorative long-oil alkyds, can coatings and inks. It is an easy-to-use organic derivative of bentonite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:Highly efficient and cost-effective with consistent rheological propertiesEliminates need for pregels and chemical activators in conventional solvent-based systems

BENTONE® 27

Rheological additive suitable for moderate to high polarity organic systems. It is used in anti-corrosive-, anti-fouling-, foundry mold paints, gravure & flexographic printing inks, industrial finishes, plastisols, organosols and wash primers. It is highly recommended for solvent-borne can-, car OEM-, car refinish-, coil-, marine protective-, plastic-, wood- & leather coatings. It is an organic derivative of a hectorite clay. Shelf life: 4 years.Benefits:It increases viscosity and provides thixotropy Prevents pigment settling during storage and syneresis in thixotropic systemsIt improves flow and leveling Controls sagging on vertical surfaces and penetration on porous substrates 

BENTONE® 30

Rheological additive suitable for low to intermediate polarity organic systems. It is used in anti-corrosive paints, high-build systems, industrial finishes, interior & exterior house paints, do-it-yourself- & road marking paints, primers, undercoats and fillers. Benefits:Prevents pigment settling during storage and syneresis in thixotropic systemsIt increases viscosity and provides thixotropy It improves flow and leveling Controls sagging on vertical surfaces and penetration on porous substrates

BENTONE® 34
