BENTONE® HC
Hectorite clay for aqueous systems
BENTONE HC rheological additive is a refined hectorite suitable for the thickening and flow control of aqueous systems.
BENTONE HC additive can be used to prepare high concentration dispersions of refined hectorite that develop their full viscosity in the final filled system.
Key properties
- Is a cost-effective thixotropic additive for filled aqueous systems
