  • Pansil 100 is a polyfunctional additive manufactured from sepiolite. Its thick powder granulometry makes it easy to handle and use. It is an excellent suspension aid and active filler with an outstimding efficiency/cost ratio.
  • PANSIL 400 is a polyfunctional additive, supplied as a fine powder manufactured from sepiolite. It is an excellent suspension aid and active filler with an outstanding efficiency/cost ratio.

    Properties

    PANSIL 400, due to its high surface activity produces an increase in system component distribution favouring the increase of immature resistance and keeping stability after high temperature curing. PANSIL 400 improves polymer, filler, organic and inorganic fibre distribution.

    Fields of application

    • Asphalt sheets.
    • Conglomerating in molecular sieves.
    • Seed coating.
    • Asphalt emulsions.
  • PANGEL C150 is a rheological additive, manufactured from sepiolite. It is a powder additive that improves the system rheology.

    Properties

    PANGEL C150 imparts excellent thixotropic and pseudoplastic properties to the systems in which it is incorporated; this favours an excellent suspending and thickening behaviour, improving application and workability of the final product. PANGEL C150 controls system flow and consistency, ensuring optimum distribution of solvents, fillers and other components. Suspensions made with PANGEL C150 are stable even at high electrolyte concentration. Its rheological behaviour is stable in a wide pH range and at high temperatures.

    Fields of application

    • Waterproofing asphalt sheets.
    • Asphalt emulsions.
    • Water based foundry coatings.
  • Pansil is a polyfunctional additive manufactured from high purity sepiolite. It is an excellent suspension aid and active filler.
  • 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 OM4 is a rheological additive based upon a highly purified bentonite clay designed for low polarity systems. PANGEL OM4 is recommended for both aliphatic solvents and mineral or synthetic oils. Pangel OM4 requires the use of polar activators.

    Properties PANGEL OM4 is an organobentonite recommended for providing the following properties in oil based systems:

    • Decrease of sedimentation
    • High thickening capacity
    • Does not require polar activator
    • High capacity for thikening inverted emulsions
    • Control of sagging and dripping while improves stability.

    Fields of application

    Use of PANGEL OM4 as a rheological additive is recommended in the following applications:
    • Oil based concentrated formulations
    • Formulations based in inverted emulsions
     
  • An inverse emulsion thickener which imparts a short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a pH range of 1-14. Supplied as an easy to use, low viscosity liquid which gives an instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into the composition. The polymer is already in solution (as the sodium salt) and requires no other additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc.
  • An anionic inverse emulsion thickener which imparts an extremely short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a wide pH range. Supplied as an easy to use, low viscosity liquid which gives an instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into the composition. The polymer in is already in solution (as the ammonium salt) and not requiring any other additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc. APEO free.
  • Inverse emulsion thickener imparting very short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a broad pH range with nearly instantaneous thickening.
  • An inverse emulsion thickener which imparts a short flow to a wide variety of aqueous and non-aqueous compositions and is effective over a wide pH range. Low viscosity liquid which instantaneous thickening effect on direct mixing into a composition. The polymer in is already in solution (as the sodium salt) and requiring no additional additives to promote thickening e.g. alkali, surfactant etc. APEO free.
  • Inverse emulsion thickener designed specifically for pigment printing.
