Product Overview
JSY‑RD200 is a cost‑effective synthetic hectorite magnesium lithium silicate engineered as a multi‑purpose rheology modifier for waterborne formulations. As a synthetic layered silicate, it hydrates in water to form a thixotropic gel network, providing thickening, suspension and anti‑settling effects. It is widely applied in water‑in‑water paint to stabilize color droplets, in household cleaners to suspend abrasives and control viscosity, and in ceramic glazes to improve suspension and application properties. The synthetic formulation ensures consistent quality free of natural impurities, offering reliable performance at a competitive cost.

Application Scenarios
- Water‑in‑water paint: stabilizes colored droplets, prevents sagging and phase separation, improves storage stability
- Household cleaners: thickens formula, suspends abrasives and particles, controls pour viscosity
- Ceramic glazes: improves pigment and filler suspension, enhances glaze uniformity and application properties
- Water‑based architectural coatings: rheology modifier and anti‑settling additive
- Other waterborne formulations requiring cost‑effective thickening and suspension
Usage Recommendation
- Typical dosage: 0.2%–1.5% in water‑in‑water paint; 0.3%–2.0% in household cleaners; 0.5%–2.0% in ceramic glazes
- Add powder slowly under high‑shear mixing to ensure full hydration and dispersion
- Pre‑disperse in water before incorporating into the formulation for best results
- Full hydration typically requires 15–30 minutes of high‑speed mixing
- Adjust dosage based on desired viscosity, suspension performance and system compatibility
- For ceramic glazes, ensure proper mixing to avoid agglomeration

- Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse
- Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight
- Shelf life: 24 months from date of manufacture when stored properly
- Reseal tightly after opening to prevent moisture absorption
Safety Notes
Avoid inhalation of dust during handling. Use appropriate dust extraction and personal protective equipment including gloves and dust mask. Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
