Pangel S1500

PANGEL S1500 is specially recommended for salt and electrolyte rich systems.

Properties

PANGEL S1500 is a thixotropic additive developed to be used in water-based compositions where electrolytes are present. PANGEL S1500 imparts excellent thixotropic and pseudoplastic properties to the systems it is incorporated to improving stability and spreading properties:

At rest, it provides the system with a high consistency what produces a suspending effect and a great resistance to settling, avoiding sedimentation. Also sagging and film thickness are highly improved due to this effect.
Under a shear stress, PANGEL S1500 forces the viscosity to promptly fall down, easing manual and mechanical application and leveling

PANGEL S1500 controls system flow and consistency, ensuring optimal distribution of pigments, fillers and other components. PANGEL S1500 is electrolyte-activated, therefore suspensions made with PANGEL S1500 are specially stable even at high electrolyte concentration. Its rheological behaviour is stable in a broad pH range and at high temperatures. PANGEL S1500 keeps a high absorption capacity and a high degree of interaction with polymers.

Fields of application

Suspending agent for liquid additives.
Asphalt emulsions.

Characteristics Thickening and thixotropy: REOLOSIL provides thickening and thixotropic effects in liquid systems such as polyesters, epoxies, and urethane resins due to interactions between aggregates and the development of three-dimensional networks between REOLOSIL particles. Reinforcement: Adding REOLOSIL as a filler material improves various mechanical properties of elastomers, including modulus, elongation at break, tensile strength and tear resistance. REOLOSIL's large specific surface area also makes it possible to achieve excellent transparency in elastomers. Anti-settling effects: REOLOSIL improves the suspension behavior in liquid systems, such as pigmented coatings or resins containing filters. Anti-caking, effects for Improved flow characteristics: Due to a property that makes it behave like bait bearings, REOLOSIL resists lumping and clogging. It can be used to improve the storage stability of powders that are especially prone to caking. REOLOSIL can also be used to improve flow characteristics and prevent flow problems. Insulation: With its very low solid state conductivity and vast spacing between particles, REOLOSIL provides excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. Electrical charge: Hydrophobic REOLOSIL is used as a toner additive to stabilize electrical charge characteristics. TOKUYAMA can provide hydrophobic REOLOSIL grades manufactured to custom specifications. Polishing: In the semiconductor manufacturing process, the planarizalion of silicon wafers is achieved via CMP (chemical mechanical polishing) processes such as ILD, STI and metal CMP. REOLOSIL is used in certain CMP slurries as a polishing agent, due to high purity, sub-micron particle size and its distribution characteristics.
