  • Rheological Additive HIGH PURITY SODIUM BENTONITE-BASED PANGEL M90F is a high purity smectite-based additive with a selected particle size, specially developed to modify the rheology of joint compounds, plasters and fillers formulated in both powder and paste. PANGEL M90F is recommended where a fine particle size is required. PANGEL M90F can be used also as a binder agent of organic and inorganic powders. Its elevated swelling capacity in contact with water permits it to break apart easily while maintaining elevated resistance when dry.
  • PANGEL HV is a high efficiency rheological additive, manufactured from high purity sepiolite. Its presentation as a high porosity pellet avoids handling with powder, allowing for maximum efficiency. It is a rheological additive in the form of pellets, for a more convenient handling system.
  • 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. Water-based, low odor
