Features Of US Colloid POLARGEL CA Bentonite Thickener

  1. High-yield sodium bentonite with optimized particle dispersion for superior suspension stability.

  2. Low-sodium, calcium-activated formulation enabling excellent thickening performance in aqueous systems without excessive viscosity hysteresis.

  3. Consistent rheological profile across varying pH (5–10) and temperature ranges (0–60 °C).

  4. Reduced gel time versus standard bentonites, facilitating efficient high-shear processing in industrial mixing equipment.

  5. Non-toxic, REACH-compliant raw material suitable for regulated industrial and agricultural applications.

Typical Applications Of US Colloid POLARGEL CA Bentonite Thickener

  1. Agricultural pesticide suspensions and herbicide concentrates.

  2. Water-based metalworking fluids requiring stable emulsion and particulate suspension.

  3. Drilling mud additives for low-viscosity, high-yield non-damaging borehole fluids.

  4. Industrial cleaning gels and solvent-free degreasing formulations.

  5. Foundry mold washes and refractory coatings demanding controlled rheology and film integrity.
