SUPBENT®HV is an organically modified bentonite which has been specially developed as a
thickening agent for aqueous systems. As its high thixotropy SUPBENT®HV is particularly suited
for improving consistency and stability of emulsion paints.

Applications
The application of SUPBENT®HV allows the production of systems which are storage stable .Due to
the incorporated yield value value and thixotropy the application performance is improved
considerably. SUPBENT®HV prevents the settling of heavy pigments or fillers. As thixotropic agent,
it inhibits sagging and allows the application of thick coatings
