GARAMITE-1958 is an organophilic phyllosilicate-based powder rheology additive.
GARAMITE-1958 is a unique rheological additive developed for a wide range of solvent born systems.
Compared to fumed silica and organoclays, GARAMITE-1958 provides improved sag (drainage) resistance, control of settling, metallic orientation, and stability.
GARAMITE-1958 is also more efficient and easier to handle in manufacturing
Due to its patented mixed mineral thixotrope technology, GARAMITE-1958 provides these properties at lower viscosities than are seen with conventional thixotropes.
