Sepiolsa
The Rheoplus® products are rheology modifiers in industrial applications such as coatings, fertilisers, mortars and drilling muds; as well as binders, emulsifiers and fillers in many other industrial applications such as asphalt emulsions, molecular sieves, carrier for solvents, etc.
Products
Rheoplus® TS2020
Rheoplus® TS2020 is a powder additive from sepiolite that modifies the rheology in aqueous systems.
Applications
Mortars – Smoother termination, anti-sagging, cellulose derivative replacement, workability and lower exudation.
Shotcrete – Decreases rebound, improves fluidity and adherence.
Pumping of concrete – Avoids segregation and increases fluidity.
Polisher – Thickener, controls syneresis and settling.
Fertilisers (Suspensions) – Anti-settling.
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 & 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.
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 stabilizes friction coefficient.
