Pangel® B20 is a rheological additive derived from sepiolite (hydrated magnesium silicate), with its particle surface organically modified to ensure compatibility with medium and low polarity systems or solvents. It forms a three-dimensional network of particles, enhancing the viscosity and thixotropy of the end product. In epoxy coatings, Pangel® B20 offers the option for partial or complete substitution of fumed silicas and organophilic bentonites typically used as rheological additives, presenting additional cost-effective benefits in formulations.

Pangel® OM4 is a rheological additive designed for intermediate to low polarity systems, formulated with highly purified bentonite clay. It's suitable for use with aliphatic solvents as well as mineral or synthetic oils. This standard organo-bentonite requires pregel preparation using a polar activator, making it ideal for low to medium-polarity solvent-based systems.

Pangel® B10 is a product designed to effectively control the rheological properties of a system. Its micro-fibers form a reticulated, stable, and homogeneous network, Pangel® B10 enables the achievement of a pseudoplastic behavior and an optimal gel structure in the coating.
