The optimal dosage of Valida S+ in a formulation depends on the required functionality, as well as the nature of the other ingredients in the formulation. Note that adding Valida S+ will not result in an immediate thickening effect. The primary functionality of Valida S+ is stabilization at low viscosity. A combination of Valida S+ and a thickener is recommended when a ‘gel-like’ system is required.

Valida S+ Dispersion Guidance: - A good dispersion of Valida S+ is critical to utilize its full benefits. We recommend to introduce Valida S+ at an early process step, preferably dispersing Valida S+ together with other fillers or pigments via grinding or high shear mixing.

Recommended storage condition: ambient or lower, and avoid freezing and direct exposure to sunlight. Provided stored as advised, the product has a shelf life of 18 months from date of production. Once open, containers or bags containing Valida S+ should be re-sealed to avoid moisture loss and used within 3 months.
