Supplied byElementis- Last Updated on Jan 22, 2025

Bentone SD® -3 by Elementis is an organic derivative of hectorite clay-based highly efficient rheological additive. It offers improved dispersibility characteristics and provides stable viscosity, controls sag and suspends pigments.
  • It disperses readily when added directly at the pigment-grinding stage and improves batch-to batch consistency.
  • It does not require pre-gelling or a chemical activator, enabling fast plant throughput and efficient processing.
  • It proves to be a cost-effective alternative to other organoclay rheological additives and fumed silica.
  • Bentone SD® -3 is used in adhesives, sealants and putties.
  • It is suitable for alkyd, epoxy and PU two pack-systems.
  • Recommended dosage level is 0.2-1% by weight.
  • It has a shelf life of 4 years.
