Features & Benefits
- Labeling Claims
- Mode of Action
By interaction of the complex polysilicate anions with the surfaces of clay or kaoline particles the surface charges and zeta potentials are modified and thus a deflocculation and decrease of viscosity are achieved. Based on these effects slips/masses with higher dry contents can be used which causes significant reduction of energy and lower tendency of crack forming during the drying and baking processes.
- Properties
- Stable, alkaline liquid.
- Free of solvents or other organic ingredients.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Industrial Additives End Use
- Applications
Betol 47 T acts as deflocculant in slips and masses for fine and coarse ceramics, especially also for the production of wall and floor tiles.
- Notes for Application
The dosage is usually 0,4 – 0,6 % based on dry weight of the ceramic slip or mass. For each mass / slip the optimum dosage should be defined by deflocculation experiments and viscosity measurements, since the effect depends on the individual surface properties, shape and size of the raw materials particles. Our application service is prepared to give appropriate support for these evaluations.
