BENAQUA^® 4000

Organically modified hectorite in powder form for water-borne systems

BENAQUA 4000 rheological additive is an easily dispersible powder designed for lower-gloss and matt latex paints, textured and high-build coatings and water-borne adhesives. It is especially useful in systems that are diluted with water prior to use.

BENAQUA 4000 provides high viscosity in the low-to medium-shear-rate region. It gives superior sag resistance at low package viscosity compared with conventional thickeners, as well as improved shear-thinning rheology. Textured and stippled effects are enhanced and paints exhibit a richer appearance.
