Product Overview
JSY‑RD100 is an economic industrial grade synthetic hectorite magnesium lithium silicate engineered as a versatile thickener and suspension agent for industrial formulations. As a synthetic layered silicate, it hydrates in water to form a thixotropic gel network, delivering efficient thickening, particle suspension and anti‑settling performance. It is widely applied in foundry refractory coatings to stabilize refractory particles and improve coating uniformity, and in agrochemical suspension concentrates to prevent active ingredient sedimentation and maintain stable dispersion. The economic industrial formulation offers reliable performance at a competitive cost for large‑volume industrial use.

Application Scenarios
- Foundry coatings: refractory and investment casting coatings, improves suspension of refractory powders, enhances coating uniformity and adhesion to molds
- Agrochemical suspensions: suspension concentrates (SC), oil dispersions (OD), stabilizes active ingredient particles, prevents sedimentation and caking
- Waterborne industrial coatings: cost‑effective rheology modifier and anti‑settling additive
- Other industrial suspensions requiring thickening and particle stabilization
Usage Recommendation
- Typical dosage: 0.3%–2.0% in foundry coatings; 0.2%–1.5% in agrochemical suspensions
- 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 agrochemical use, test compatibility with active ingredients and other adjuvants before scale‑up

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. For agrochemical formulations, ensure final product compliance with applicable regulatory standards. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
