Pangel B42

Organically Modified Sepiolite

The dispersion process of Pangel® B42 is similar to that of other © solid components of the formulation, being necessary to ensure an appropriate product wetting and the application of a sufficient mechanical energy (shear). Equipment of the Cowles, dissolvers, Silverson types, colloidal mills, horizontal, vertical and basket grinding equipment are enough to obtain a good dispersion.

Pangel® B42 is particularly recommended to provide thixotropic, suspension and anti-sagging properties to systems based on alcohol, glycol and ketone type solvents, as well as in mixtures of those with water. Pangel® B42 provides a strongly pseudoplastic character, producing high consistency levels without affecting viscosity during application. It exhibits its high effectiveness as anti-settling additive in formulations with high solid contents. Use of Pangel® B42 has the following advantages against other conventional additives.

• Coatings and paints: prevents settling of pigments and fillers, controls sagging without modifying leveling, high stability during transportation and storage.
• Printing inks: improves consistency and prevents settling of pigments.
• Paint strippers: improves stability and facilitates stripping action.
• Sealants and joints: improves wetting and suspension properties, controls sliding.
• Other: control of sagging and dripping; improves stability.

• Coatings and paints: epoxy 2k, urethane, coatings for lower part of car, zinc-rich primers, casting mold, coatings based on oxygenated solvents, nitrocellulose-based varnishes.
• Printing inks: those based upon high polarity solvents.
• Paint strippers: dichloromethane, DMSO, propylene carbonate EEP (ethyl3-ethoxypropionate) 
• Sealants and joints: polyurethane, acrylic
• Others: vinyl plastisol, gel-coat, nail varnish, wash coat alcohols, glycols, esters.
