Van Gel® range are Magnesium Aluminum Silicate products that industrial grades of naturally occurring colloidal smectite clay that produces uniform thixotropic aqueous dispersions at low concentrations.
| Product | Description | Benefits | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Van Gel® B | Van Gel® B is a Magnesium Aluminum Silicate are smectite clays. | Magnesium Aluminum Silicate are smectite clays specially formulated for easy incorporation and consistent performance in aqueous systems. Their use in a coating formula results in a product with no separation and with uniform thixotropic consistency that requires no stirring, while promoting good flow and brushing characteristics. The result is “dripless” application and leveling without sag. | Economical, industrial grade thixotropic smectite clay that prevents syneresis and settling, provides dripless application, controls leveling and sag resistance, and eliminates or minimises the need to stir the paint prior to use. |
| Van Gel® SX | Van Gel® SX is a carboxyl-functional, solid acrylic resin. | Magnesium Aluminum Silicate is a synergistic blend of natural bentonite and xanthan gum that hydrates quickly, even with low shear mixing in unheated water. The combination of smectite clay and xanthan gum will provide greater thickening, stabilising and suspending properties than those developed by the individual components of the mixture. | Blend of smectite clay and xanthan gum that prevents syneresis and settling, provides dripless application, controls leveling and sag resistance, and eliminates or minimises the need to stir the paint prior to use. |
Product and customer insights
Despite numerous cleanings, the productivity of the Reverse Osmosis plant would not recover from severe membrane fouling. The membrane autopsy revealed that the ferric hydroxide was seeding
silica polymerization and that even while the ferric hydroxide was removed, the silica scaling was continuing to grow.
The plant was experiencing weekly shutdowns for fiber clean up (~ 3 kg bags of matted slurry is cleaned per week). The shut downs were costly as they reduce plant availability for production.
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulation, known as IMO 2020 was the the largest change in regulation relating to marine fuels impacting 75% of the fuel used by the shipping industry.
Keeping drilling costs low using Redi-Guard™ High Performance, an ecologically friendly drilling fluid technology with revolutionary rheological and shale encapsulation properties
AWC A-110 effectively inhibited scale at a dosage of 3.5 ppm and an operating pH of 6.9. This increase in operating pH reduced the district’s annual acid consumption by ~$350K per year based on their current production.
Research indicates that Sea Buckthorn may be able to strengthen the immune system. One in vitro study focused on the possible immunomodulatory properties of Sea Buckthorn.
MCI® -2020 V/O and ChemMaster’s Colorsil were chosen to repair and protect the walls based on their 20 year warranties and the fact that together they could fulfill the other specified repair design requirements.
The East Hokkaido region is known to have the highest volume of potato product in Japan. Unfortunately, a potato farmer in the area was experiencing a high rate of potato scab infection in his agricultural field.
