Acti-Gel 208

Acti-Gel 208® is a unique magnesium aluminium silicate offering a combination of excellent stability and workability for many water based products.

Acti-Gel 208® provides a very high viscosity at rest and an extreme low viscosity after applying a little shear (pseuplastic flow properties). Applications include:

• Self-levelling products, spray able concrete ( shotcrete) and self-compacting concrete
• Ceramic glazes
• Paint
• Cement and gypsum based plasters

In all these applications, Acti-Gel 208® is rewarded for offering:

• Excellent stability, preventing settlement and segregation.
• Strong reduction of rebound in shotcrete.
• Minimizing pin holing and improved adhesion after firing in glazes

Acti-Gel 208® is also used as a unique binder for powders in many applications, including catalysts, ceramics and activated carbon. By replacing CMC in these formulations remarkable improvements of strength and extrusion properties can be achieved.
