Notes
White magnesium-rich surface-modified sodium hectorite clay highly purified to exhibit rheology four to five times more efficient than ground bentonite.
Hectabrite AW is a flake material which exhibits excellent emulsification, thickening and suspension properties at low solids levels. It is mostly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care products.
Hectabrite DP is a free-flowing powder. Used as a binder and plasticizer in ceramic bodies. In glazes gels and reduces settling.
