Water based

PANGEL W range is formulated to work as thickener and water retention additive in emulsion paints. PANGEL W is a highly efficient thickener based upon organically modified clay manufactured from highly purified sepiolite, that produces high low shear viscosity without impairing the application properties of the formula. Viscosity is not influenced by temperature no pH and together with pseudoplasticity has also a thixotropy. Exhibits water retention properties with increased open time. PANGEL W offers the following properties in water based formulations:

• Easy to disperse
• Specially suitable for high solids content formulations
• Increase productivity
• Excellent can stability
• Reduces syneresis
• Adequate consistency
• Excellent sag control
• Avoids sedimentation
• Good leveling

PANGEL W is added in the pigment and filler dispersion stage, after the moistening and anti-foam agents and before adding the pigments and fillers. Typical addition levels are 0.1-1% of Pangel W by weight of total formulation.

PANGEL RMA series is managing rheology on demand, improving cohesion, reducing bleeding and segregation and enhancing concrete pumping operations. PANGEL RMA 400 series are high performance liquid concrete admixtures based on silicates modified and specifically developed for shotcrete. PANGEL RMA 400 series increase sprayed concrete cohesion providing superior bond to rock substrate, faster early strength development and enhancing sprayability and pumpability properties, minimizing the rebound and allowing larger thickness build-up in a single pass in tunnels and mining applications. PANGEL® RMA 400 series is specially developed for underground: • Temporary and permanent rock support in mining and tunneling • Slope stabilization • Grouting FEATURES & BENEFITS • Reduces/ replaces silica fume/ microsilica • Enhances sprayability properties • Reduces rebound reducing materials waste • Increases thickness build-up in single pass • Increases very early strength • Safer, healthier reducing dust generation • Increases mix design robustness allowing moisture and grading tolerances PANGEL RMA 400 series increase concrete cohesion developing faster early strength without affecting other concrete plastic properties (slump life, air control management) and enhancing pumpability.

PANGEL CS 610 is a pozzolanic additive based on colloidal silica with very fine (7 nanometers) and narrow particle size distribution. Its rapid surface penetration leads to very fast bonding with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] which provides an outstanding densifier/hardener effect. PROPERTIES • PANGEL CS 610 reacts with calcium hydroxide in the concrete matrix to create additional calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H). • PANGEL CS 610 provides a harder and more uniform surface making it withstand abrasion and take a better polish effect. • Due to its unique structure, PANGEL CS 610 works as densifier/ hardener in concrete flooring applications providing better overall mechanical performance (surface hardness, compressive strength, permeability and abrasion resistance ) thus replacing other silicate densifiers. PANGEL CS610 provides tangible benefits and savings vs. other silicate based (i.e. sodium, potassium, lithium) densifiers: • Reduces operating costs by increased ease of maintenance and cleaning • Speed of application; no overnight curing • Deeper penetration • Faster reacting • Safe to handle liquid – lower pH than silicates • Reduces dusting, efflorescence and ASR • Compatible with colored concrete, stains and dyes • No whitening potential; no caustic gel to scrub off • Non-hazardous.
