Bentone LT

Rheological additive for water-borne systems

BENTONE LT additive is an organically modified powdered clay additive designed for water-borne systems, primarily latex paints.

KEY PROPERTIES - BENTONE LT rheological additive:

• Rheological properties:
• highly efficient thickener
• imparts high viscosity
• provides thermo stable aqueous phase viscosity control
• imparts thixotropy

Application Performance:

• prevents hard settlement of pigments/fillers
• reduces syneresis
• minimizes floating/flooding of pigments
• provides wet edge/open time
• improves water retention of plasters
• improves wash and scrub resistance of paints

System Stability:

• pH stable (3-11)
• electrolyte stable
• stabilizes latex emulsions
• compatible with synthetic resin dispersions, polar solvents
• ·non-ionic and anionic wetting agents
