- Application Details
- HDK® N20ST is applied as a thickening and thixotropic agent in many organic systems, e.g. in unsaturated polyesters, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, cosmetics and others.
- HDK® N20ST shows a lower thickening activity compared to HDK ® N20.
- HDK® N20ST is not suitable for pharmaceuticals, food and feed. A good dispersion of HDK® N20ST is a must to assure optimum performance.

- Packaging Information
HDK® N20ST 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® N20ST 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.
