BENTONE® EW

BENTONE® EW distributed by DKSH acts as a rheological additive for water-borne paint systems. It is a highly beneficiated, easily dispersible powdered smectite clay. It provides thermostable aqueous phase viscosity control and thixotropy.

• It enhances texturing & stippling effects and improves workability/application.
• It does not impair throwing power in electrostatic coating systems.
• It offers fast water release, emulsion stabilization, and good stability in electrostatic coating baths.
• It prevents hard settlement of pigments/fillers, reduces syneresis and minimizes floating/flooding of pigments.
• BENTONE® EW is used in corrosion-inhibitive primers, latex paints, electrodeposition coatings, foundry paints, paper coatings, polishes & cleaners, and welding electrodes.
• Recommended usage level is 0.1-1%.
• It has a shelf life of 4 years and is available in Europe & Asia/Pacific regions.
