GARAMITE® -1210

GARAMITE®-1210 by BYK is a powdered rheology additive based on a composition of organically modified phyllosilicates. It increases the storage stability and sag resistance. The combination of various morphological structures in the mineral components results in it being particularly easy to disperse and offering high efficiency in various unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester-based resins. It offers higher coating thicknesses, strong shear thinning effect, very low shear forces are required for incorporation, which reduces processing time by up to 50%. Also, offers no heat or activators are needed for activation, greater bulk densities compared with fumed silica which means lower dusting and less storage space required and greater efficiency and/or lower dosage. The recommended level is 0.5-5% additive (as supplied) based upon resin. GARAMITE®-1210 is listed in TSCA, DSL, AICS, PICCS, IECSC, ENCS and NZIoC. It is in line with EU Directive 2011/65/EC (RoHS 2), EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE), EU Directive 94/62/EC (Packaging Waste) and CONEG Toxics in Packaging.
