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

BYK-7420 ES is a liquid rheology additive designed to induce thixotropic flow in aqueous and highly polar systems, enhancing anti-sagging and anti-settling properties. With excellent shear-thinning and easy handling, it is ideal for aqueous pigment, filler, and matting agent concentrates in the coatings industry.

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

LAPONITE-7007 is rheology additive based on synthetic phyllosilicate for aqueous systems to improve the rheological properties in the low shear range and in particular for improved effect pigment orientation.
