Sepiolsa

Rheoplus TA2010

Sepiolsa is the only manufacturer in Europe of rheology modifiers for the coatings industry based on attapulgite clays. Rheoplus TA2010 is a fine powder additive which generates higher viscosity and displays higher dispersibility than any other attapulgite clay in the market. It is introduced and dispersed into water easier and faster, saving a lot of energy.

Applications

• Water based paints
• Textured paints
• Spray paints

Key benefits

• Most common grade for water-based coatings
• Easy dispersing
• Improves thixotropy and pseudoplasticity
• Provides excellent hiding power and good film formation
• Prevents sagging
• Reduces paint sensitivity to water hardness
• Increases resistance to bacteria
• Can be used in solvent-based systems

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 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.
