Garamite

Description: Rheological additive

Notes

Garamite rheological additives are a proprietary blend of minerals that have been "organically modified" for use in applications using polymer resins such as unsaturated polyesters, epoxies, and vinyl esters. Due to their unique function, Garamite additives are offered as alternatives to other commonly used rheology modifiers in laminating and thermoset composite systems. The use of Garamite additives is being explored in other solvent-based systems due to the unique rheology and performance that Garamite additives can provide.
