Boratherm™ H5 F13.0

1 of 12 products in this brand
Boratherm™ H5 F13.0 is produced from a carefully selected, naturally occurring, platy, sedimentary mineral that predominantly consists of partially hydrated magnesium-calcium carbonate. The mineral’s platy particle shape and sub-micron particle size make Boratherm™ H5 products an effective rheology modifier in aqueous suspensions and other fluids. Boratherm™ H5 F13.0 is stearic acid surface-treated Boratherm™ H5 to render the surface hydrophobic. To guarantee a consistent product quality for the Boratherm™ H5 grades, the chemical composition of the raw materials, the product particle size of the final products, and the treatment process (in the case of the Boratherm™ H5 F13.0) are closely monitored and kept within a narrow variation.
