SMY-LT Bentonite

SMY-LT is an easily dispensable rheological additive for waterborne systems. SMY-LT can disperse in water, forming a suspension gel. It provides excellent thickening and anti-settling properties, with good heat stability. It can also improve the open time for the coating film.

Incorporations
  • SMY-LT is added to vessel containing only water at temperature 25-30°C, then, mix at speed 1500-2000 rpm for 20-30 min.
  • After sufficient hydration time, the homogeneous pre- gel will be ready.
  • Place it for 8-24 hours.
  • Add pigments, fillers, and active ingredients and disperse, then, complete dilution. 2-4% concentration is recommended for pre-gel.
  • Better performance can be achieved by applying pre-gel method.
