Product Overview
JSY‑RD100 is an industrial grade synthetic hectorite magnesium lithium silicate engineered as a versatile rheology additive for heavy industrial applications. As a synthetic layered silicate, it hydrates and disperses in water to form a thixotropic gel network, providing thickening, suspension and anti‑settling effects. With 25% light transmittance, this industrial grade formulation is optimized for cost‑sensitive applications where high clarity is not required. It is free of natural impurities and offers consistent batch‑to‑batch performance for reliable large‑scale industrial production.

Application Scenarios
- Architectural coatings: interior and exterior wall paints, improves sag resistance, pigment suspension and storage stability
- Oilfield drilling: drilling mud and completion fluids, controls rheology, viscosity and cuttings transport
- Ceramic glazes: improves pigment and filler suspension, enhances glaze uniformity and application properties
- Waterborne industrial coatings: cost‑effective rheology modifier and anti‑settling additive
- Other industrial waterborne systems requiring thickening and suspension control
Usage Recommendation
- Typical dosage: 0.2%–1.5% in architectural coatings; 0.5%–3.0% in oilfield drilling fluids; 0.5%–2.0% in ceramic glazes
- 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 oilfield applications, test compatibility with other drilling fluid additives before field use
Package & Storage

- Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated warehouse
- Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight
- Shelf life: 24 months from date of manufacture when stored properly
- Reseal tightly after opening to prevent moisture absorption
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 oilfield and industrial use, refer to the Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling, transportation and emergency procedures.
