Dispersants

UNITAN offers several high-quality dispersing agents derived from quebracho polyphenols. These specialties include:

Ceramic Additives
2. CLAYTHIN
Is a defloculant for use in many raw materials and bodies. It is also effective in glaze and for nearly any type of casting slip > tableware, sanitary ware, vitrous china, technical porcelain, porcelain. A specially important feature of CLAYTHIN is that the deflocculation interval is such that the natural variations of the raw materials can be balanced to a great extent.
Benefits and applications:
- The dry modulus of rupture is increased in most cases.
- Thixotropy effects and hence casting spots can be eliminated to a great extent.
- Increased solids content in slips for spray drying.
- The optimal addition ranges from 0,1 to 0,5% on dry weight.
- The addition required for glazes lies between 0,1 to 0,25 kg per ton of liquid.

Handling: for specific instructions refer to MSDS information.
Packaging: palletized 25 kg. bags

Drilling Fluids Additives
UNITHIN
UNITHIN defloculant is a proprietary tannin-based product used for rheology control in water-based muds. It is very effective for rheology control in low concentrations in most water-based. Mud types include, low solid, semi-dispersed, inhibited KCI, lime or Gyp muds, or to supplement lignosulfonate, lignite muds, deep, hot drilling, cement preflush.
Benefits and applications:
- Soluble in systems of high-salinity, high-hardness and at any pH.
- Maximum defloculation at low concentrations.
- Environmentall compatible.
- Several times more effective than CF lignosulfonates, depending on conditions.
- Temperature tolerance in excess of 300ºF (149ºC).
- Alkaline product, no caustic needed to activate.
