  • Pangel B-10 is a powdered additive with a high thickening and anti-settling capacity for intermediate-low polarity systems, particularly recommended for systems based on white spirit type solvents.
  • Rheological additive for intermediate polarity systems. PANGEL B20 is a powdered additive with a high thickening and anti-settling capacity for intermediate polarity systems, particularly recommended for systems based on aromatic and unsaturated polyester type solvents. Properties PANGEL B20 is particularly recommended to provide thixotropic, suspension and sagging-resistance properties to systems based on aromatic and unsaturated polyester type solvents, PANGEL B20 does not require the use of a polar activator for its dispersion. PANGEL B20 provides a strongly pseudoplastic character, producing high consistency levels without affecting viscosity during application. It exhibits its high effectiveness as anti-settling additive in formulations with high solid contents. Use of PANGEL B20 has the following advantages against other conventional additives: •Coatings and paints: Prevents settling of pigments and fillers; controls sagging without aggravating leveling; high stability during transportation and storage. •Printing inks: Improves consistency and prevents settling of pigments. •Unsaturated polyester putties: Improves consistency and workability. •Paint strippers: Improves stability and facilitates stripping action.•Greases based on vegetal oil: High thickening capacity; good stability at high temperature. •Asphalt coatings: High thickening capacity; application in thicker layers; sagging control. • Sealants and joints: Improves wetting and suspension properties; controls sliding. •Others: Control of sagging and dripping; improves stability

  • 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.
