    Usage Guide
    • Typical usage level is 0.3 % to 1.0% of total formula weight. When used in addition to cellulosics and associative thickeners, Falgel® 90 provides the low shear viscosity required to improve sag in high build applications and to provide settling and syneresis control. Falgel® 90 can replace attapulgites used in water based coating applications.
