Bentone® HC by Elementis is cost-effective refined hectorite clay-based rheology modifier. It acts as suspending agent and preventing hard settlement. It is suitable for the thickening and flow control of aqueous systems.
- It provides shear-thinning viscosity and stable package rheology over a wide temperature range.
- It improves slump or sag resistance and does not retard drying with fast water release.
- It is bacteria- and enzyme-resistant.
- It can be used to prepare high-concentration dispersions of refined hectorite, which develop full viscosity in the final filled system.

- The recommended dosage is 0.3-2.0% based on the total formulation.
