Product Overview
JSY‑RD100 is a low‑cost synthetic hectorite magnesium lithium silicate engineered as an inorganic gel rheology modifier for construction materials. As a synthetic layered silicate, it hydrates in water to form a thixotropic inorganic gel network, delivering thickening, water retention and anti‑sagging effects. It is widely applied in wall putty to improve workability and crack resistance, in cement mortar to enhance water retention and sag resistance, and in textured emulsion paint to control viscosity and decorative texture. The low‑cost industrial formulation offers reliable performance for high‑volume building material production.

Application Scenarios
- Wall putty: improves workability, water retention, crack resistance and sanding performance
- Cement mortar: enhances water retention, sag resistance, adhesion and open time
- Textured emulsion paint: controls viscosity, stabilizes decorative texture patterns, prevents pigment settling
- Skim coat and joint compound: improves smoothness and application properties
- Other construction materials requiring thickening and rheology control
Usage Recommendation
- Typical dosage: 0.2%–1.0% in putty; 0.1%–0.8% in cement mortar; 0.3%–1.5% in textured emulsion paint
- For dry mix products: blend powder directly with other dry ingredients before adding water
- For liquid systems: disperse powder slowly under high‑shear mixing to ensure full hydration
- Full hydration typically requires 15–30 minutes of mixing
- Adjust dosage based on desired viscosity, workability and system compatibility
- For cement systems, test compatibility with cement type and other admixtures before scale‑up

- 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 construction material use, ensure final product compliance with applicable building material standards. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
