Building Materials and Chemicals

Rheological additives are commonly used in the construction industry:

  • For improving workability and thixotropy in combination with cellulose ethers.
  • As thickeners, anti-sagging, and anti-settling agents.
  • For reducing rebound and improving homogeneity in projected applications.
  • As high-performance suspension agents in chemical products and concrete admixtures.

Why choose rheological additives based on sepiolites or attapulites?

Improves its flow, viscosity and deformation characteristics

These additives play a crucial role in optimizing key properties such as workability, cohesion and strength in a wide variety of construction applications.

Due to several compelling reasons, firstly, its ability to adjust and improve the viscosity and fluidity of mixtures is invaluable. This allows greater control over the workability of the material, facilitating application, modelling and compaction processes.

In adhesive and mortar formulations, such as cellulose. Not only does this offer more robust technical solutions, but it can also result in economic benefits by optimizing formulation and reducing reliance on other additives.

 

Sepiolites, thanks to their suspension capacity, help to maintain the uniformity of the mixture and prevent the segregation of components, resulting in a more homogeneous and consistent distribution of the material during application.

 
 

Their versatility allows them to influence a variety of properties, adapting to the specific needs of different construction processes and types of materials.

The choice of sepolite- and attach-based rheological additives in building materials offers considerable advantages in terms of fluidity, cohesion, strength and stability in low pH media. These exceptional properties make them essential allies in improving the quality, performance and durability of a wide range of products and processes in the construction industry.
