Bentone® AD

Bentone® AD by Elementis is easily dispersible, highly refined hectorite-based rheological additive. It is suitable for waterborne automotive and industrial coatings. It provides a shear-thinning viscosity, very good anti-settling and sag control, across a wide range of application temperatures, without increasing the mid-shear-rate viscosity significantly.

• It imparts very good spraying properties and aluminum pigment alignment.
• It gives smooth film-appearance and offers fast drying.
• Applications include automotive base-coats, general industrial systems, metallic-pigmented paints, and metallic base-coats and stoving enamels.
• Recommended dosage level is 0.5-2.0% by weight in the formulation.
• Bentone® AD has a shelf life of 4 years from the date of manufacture.
