OPTIGEL WH is produced from natural, colloidal aluminum silicate by a unique process. The high purity and consistent viscosity of OPTIGEL WH are made possible by our selective mining and rigid process control from the crude ore to the finished product. OPTIGEL WH is thixotropic in nature. It is most beneficial when it is used in combination with other rheological additives to produce the desired rheological properties in a paint system. Suitable co-thickeners include cellulosics, alkali swellables, and urethane thickeners

CLAYTONE 7840 rheology additive based on a self-activating, organophilic phyllosilicate to provide thixotropic flow behavior, especially for low- to medium-polar base oils in lubricant applications

CERAFLOUR 1052 PTFE-free micronized modified polyethylene wax additive for improving the scratch and abrasion resistance and increasing the surface slip of aqueous, solvent-borne, solvent-free, and UV coating systems. Function and efficiency comparable to typical PE/PTFE wax additives.

AQUACER 562 Beeswax-based wax emulsion to enhance the surface protection and functional barrier properties in aqueous paper coatings and to improve the surface properties of aqueous care products and polishes.
