Lithium Magnesium Silicate Powder, synthetic hectorite CAS 67142‑95‑4. It is produced via hydrothermal synthesis, purification and spray‑drying. The layered silicate exfoliates into nanoscale silicate platelets upon hydration in water, constructing reversible three‑dimensional colloidal networks. This universal water‑soluble inorganic rheology modifier works as thickener, suspending agent and stabilizer for paint, cosmetic and multiple industrial aqueous formulations, controlling slurry viscosit

Product Detail PageLithium Magnesium Silicate Powder Synthetic Hectorite CAS 67142‑95‑4, Water‑Soluble Rheology Modifier Thickener for Paint Cosmetic & IndustrialThis synthetic hectorite powder is manufactured by hydrothermal crystallization of carefully selected inorganic raw materials, multi‑stage purification, filtration and spray‑drying. The synthetic layered silicate delivers superior batch‑to‑batch consistency compared with naturally mined hectorite clay. Depending on formulation dosage and system impurity levels, the hydrated aqueous gel can range from transparent to turbid. This universal‑grade powder is engineered to serve cross‑segment applications covering water‑based paint, cosmetic personal‑care products and broad‑range industrial aqueous slurries.

When dispersed under sufficient high‑speed stirring into aqueous or hydro‑alcohol media, the powder hydrates gradually and exfoliates into thin nanosized silicate platelets. These platelets interconnect to build a reversible colloidal network inside the liquid phase. Under static storage conditions, the network elevates static viscosity of the system. In paint formulations, it suspends mineral pigments, colorants and functional fillers to minimize bottom hard sediment. Within cosmetic systems, it stabilizes fine insoluble actives, micro‑abrasives and perfume particles to avoid phase separation. For industrial aqueous slurries, it suppresses gravity‑driven settling of heavy solid components during long‑term warehouse storage.

When subjected to mechanical shear from stirring, spraying, brushing or dispensing, the internal colloidal network breaks down, resulting in obvious shear‑thinning behavior and reduced dynamic viscosity. This property improves fluidity during processing and application. Once external shear is removed, the silicate nanosheet network reconstructs rapidly. It provides effective anti‑sagging performance for vertical paint surfaces, prevents dripping of cosmetic gels, and maintains suspension stability for static industrial slurries.

This synthetic hectorite exhibits broad compatibility with non‑ionic, anionic and amphoteric surfactants, water‑based emulsion resins and common industrial formulation auxiliaries. It can be synergistically combined with organic thickeners such as xanthan gum, cellulose derivatives and polyurethane associative thickeners to tailor thixotropic curves for specific end‑product requirements. It should be noted that the final clarity of hydrated gel is highly sensitive to electrolyte concentration and inherent micro‑impurity content. For high‑clarity cosmetic or optical gel applications, stricter raw‑material grade selection and formulation adjustment are required.

During formulation processing, high‑speed dispersion with adequate pre‑hydration time is essential to eliminate hard powder agglomerates before mixing with other components. High electrolyte loading should be minimized. Excessive salt ions will restrain complete exfoliation of silicate nanosheets, weaken gel strength and negatively affect suspension and thickening performance.

This synthetic hectorite powder requires hermetically sealed dry storage. Moisture absorption will cause caking, which leads to incomplete hydration and deterioration of rheological modification efficiency. In batching and material‑handling operations, cross‑contamination with other industrial mineral powders must be strictly controlled to avoid unpredictable rheological changes in paint, cosmetic and industrial finished goods. This universal synthetic hectorite acts as a versatile water‑soluble inorganic rheology modifier and thickener for paint, cosmetic and diversified industrial aqueous systems.
