Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Specialty Additives for Paints & Coatings in paints & coatings applications

Hypertherm is a specialized engineered aluminium silicate that reflects infrared radiation, decelerates heat conduction, and minimises heat gain on coated surfaces. With TSR >80%, it delays surfaces reaching 50°C by 30+ minutes compared to uncoated surfaces.

Hydroxylgel is a natural inorganic montmorillonite co-thickener that partially replaces expensive HEC, SCMC, or MHEC at 30–100% replacement levels, delivering equivalent or superior stability, thixotropy, and cost-performance balance.

Unlike Zinc Phosphate (a heavy metal corrosion inhibitor), Hyperlite EST Plus is based on naturally occurring silicate minerals, offering complete Zinc Phosphate replacement, lower environmental impact, safer handling, and 900hr salt spray performance.

Yes, SEPIOZEL-S works synergistically with cellulosic (HEC, SCMC) and associative (PU) thickeners — it provides structural rheology (anti-settling + sag control) while organic thickeners fine-tune application viscosity.

Geosil Art is available in 40 designer RAL-aligned shades including grey, off-white, and super snow white, in granular mesh sizes from 0.2–0.4mm to 1–5mm, and in standard or hydrophobic variants for enhanced water resistance.
