Lithium Magnesium Silicate Powder, turbid‑grade synthetic hectorite, CAS 67142‑95‑4. It is manufactured by hydrothermal synthesis, basic purification and spray‑drying. When dispersed into aqueous liquid, layered silicate particles exfoliate into nanosheets and build robust reversible thixotropic colloidal networks. This economical inorganic rheology additive is intended for industrial coating, ceramic slip and agricultural suspension systems to prevent solid settling, control slurry viscosity an
Product Detail PageLithium Magnesium Silicate Powder Turbid Grade CAS 67142‑95‑4, Synthetic Hectorite for Industrial Coating Ceramic & Agriculture SuspensionThis turbid‑grade synthetic hectorite powder is produced via hydrothermal crystallization of inorganic raw materials, basic purification treatment, filtration and spray‑drying. Compared with high‑transparency and medium‑clarity grades, this turbid‑grade contains a slightly higher level of trace micro‑impurities. After hydration, the resulting aqueous slurry shows obvious turbidity. It maintains stable crystal platelet structure and consistent gelling strength batch‑to‑batch, focusing on cost‑sensitive industrial applications that do not require optical clarity.
Under high‑speed stirring in aqueous media, the white powder hydrates and exfoliates into silicate nanosheets. Interconnected nanosheets form a three‑dimensional reversible colloidal network. At static condition, the network increases static viscosity of slurries. In industrial water‑based coatings, it suspends heavy mineral pigments and anti‑corrosive fillers to reduce bottom sediment and hard caking inside storage drums. For ceramic casting slips, it stabilizes ceramic mineral particles, slows down rapid settlement, optimizes slip flow property and improves green body uniformity during casting forming. For agricultural suspension concentrates, it suspends solid pesticide particles, inhibits sedimentation during long‑term warehouse storage and reduces hard sediment formation inside packaging containers.
When external shear is applied during pumping, spraying, casting or agitation, the colloidal network breaks down and dynamic viscosity declines, granting favorable fluidity for processing operations. Once shear force is removed, the gel network rapidly rebuilds to deliver prominent anti‑sagging performance for vertical industrial coating layers and anti‑settling stabilization for static ceramic and agricultural slurries.
This turbid‑grade synthetic hectorite is compatible with many water‑based resin emulsions, ceramic dispersants and common agricultural formulation auxiliaries. It can be used together with organic thickeners to adjust overall slurry rheology. Owing to its naturally turbid hydrated state, this grade is unsuitable for cosmetic, skincare, optical gel or high‑clarity coating applications.
Sufficient high‑speed pre‑hydration before mixing with other raw materials is essential during formulation processing. Extreme high‑electrolyte environments should be avoided. Excessive salt ions will suppress nanosheet exfoliation, weaken gel strength and impair suspension stabilizing performance for ceramic slip and agricultural suspension concentrates.
The turbid‑grade lithium magnesium silicate powder must be stored in hermetically sealed dry packaging. Moisture absorption leads to powder caking, which causes incomplete hydration and reduces thixotropic effectiveness. During material weighing, conveying and batching processes, cross‑contamination with high‑transparency cosmetic‑grade synthetic hectorite should be strictly prevented, which would lead to unexpected rheological deviation. This turbid‑grade synthetic hectorite is a cost‑efficient inorganic rheology modifier dedicated to industrial coating, ceramic slip and agricultural suspension concentrate systems.
