- Application Details
- HDK® N20PLUS is applied as a thickening and thixotropic agent in many organic systems, e.g. in unsaturated polyesters, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, cosmetics and others.
- It is used as a reinforcing filler in elastomers, mainly silicone-elastomers.
- In comparison to HDK® N20 the product shows a higher thickening efficiency in liquid formulations.
- It acts as a free flow additive in the production of technical powders.
- HDK® N20Plus is not suitable for pharmaceuticals, food and feed. A good dispersion of HDK® N20PLUS is a must to assure optimum performance.

- Packaging Information
HDK® N20PLUS is offered in following packaging:
- Pallet with paper bags: 10 kg bags
- Big bags: 150 kg (big bags on pallets)
Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
HDK® N20PLUS should be stored in the original packaging in dry storage areas. Due to the high surface area HDK® adsorbs volatiles and should be protected from humidity and volatiles. If single bags are taken away from an original pallet, the remaining bags of this pallet must again be protected against humidity and volatiles.
