Rheology Modifiers and Water Retainers

Products

AptiCem Halda

AptiCem Halda is a high-performance water retainer and rheology modifier for sag resistant mortars. It should be added to the powder blender following the addition of sand and cement to ensure homogeneity.

Applications

AptiCem Halda has been specifically developed to provide high levels of water retention, sag resistance and longer open times in a wide range of applications such as:

  • Tile adhesives and grouts
  • Renders
  • EIFS mortars
  • Repair mortars
  • Bricklaying mortars

Sepiolsa Rheoplus TS3010A

Rheoplus® TS3010A is an easy dispersing powder additive from high purity sepiolite that modifies the rheology of aqueous systems.

Applications

  • Tile adhesives – Smoothness, anti-slipping, partial cellulose derivative replacement, workability and better adherence.
  • Mortars – Smoother termination, anti-sagging, cellulose derivative replacement, workability and lower exudation.
  • Gypsum plasters – Decreases rebound, improves fluidity and adherence.
  • Fibercement and building boards – Improves the homogeneity of the slurry, decreases fine particle losses, improves plasticity and inter-laminar bonding. Gives smoother surface boards.
  • Emulsions – Improved surface termination, emulsifier, improved stability, pseudoplasticity and thixotropy and water resistance.
  • Sound dampening – Controls flow, decreases thermal sensitivity and processing aids.
  • Cut-back – Controls the flow properties at low and high temperature, avoiding sag and anti-settling of fillers. Surfactants are needed; in some formulations a polar activator is necessary.
  • Paints – Rheoplus® TS3010A can be used in water-based paints, paint strippers and solvent paints.
  • Coatings – Thickener, anti-settling and controls sag.
  • Polisher – Thickener, controls syneresis and settling.
  • Fertilisers (Microcrystalline) – Anti-settling and controls crystal growth.

Sepiolsa Rheoplus TS3010B

Rheoplus® TS3010B is a powder additive from high purity sepiolite that modifies the rheology in aqueous systems.

Applications

  • Shotcrete – Decreases rebound, improves fluidity and adherence.
  • Gypsum plasters – Decreases rebound, improves fluidity and adherence.
  • Sound dampening – Controls flow, decreases thermal sensitivity, processing aids.
  • Friction – Homogeneity, helps in aramid fiber opening, improves shaping, dimensional stability, mechanical strength, and stabilises friction co-efficient.
