Synopsis

The presentation “Unlocking the Potential of Special Clays as Rheology Modifiers: Sepiolite and Attapulgite” aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and applications of sepiolite and attapulgite clays as natural rheology modifiers to enhance thixotropy in various industries, including paints, coatings, adhesives, and construction materials.

The conference will introduce sepiolite and attapulgite clays and highlight their main differences from other clays such as bentonite. Attendees will also learn about the different grades available on the market and the cost-efficient advantage these clays provide in comparison to other commonly used thickeners and stabilizers.

Moreover, the conference will discuss the suitability of sepiolite and attapulgite clays for eco-friendly paints and coatings due to their sustainable sourcing, low environmental impact, and VOC-free nature.

Attendees will gain practical insights on how to incorporate sepiolite and attapulgite into their formulations to achieve desired rheological properties, optimize performance, and make the most of these natural clays.

In summary, this conference offers an excellent opportunity for professionals to expand their knowledge about sepiolite and attapulgite clays and how to use them as a cost-effective, sustainable, and efficient solution to enhance rheological properties, especially in their water-based formulations.

 

La presentazione “Valorizzando il potenziale delle argille speciali come Rheology Modifiers: Sepiolite e Attapulgite” mira a fornire ai partecipanti una comprensione esaustiva dei vantaggi e delle applicazioni delle argille di sepiolite e attapulgite come modificatori reologici naturali per migliorare la tissotropia in varie industrie, tra cui pitture, rivestimenti, adesivi e materiali da costruzione.

La conferenza introdurrà le argille di sepiolite e attapulgite e metterà in evidenza le loro principali differenze rispetto ad altre argille come la bentonite. I partecipanti impareranno anche i diversi gradi disponibili sul mercato e il vantaggio di costo-efficienza di queste argille rispetto ad altri addensanti e stabilizzatori comunemente usati.

Inoltre, la conferenza discuterà l’adeguatezza delle argille di sepiolite e attapulgite per pitture e rivestimenti ecologici a causa della loro fonte sostenibile, basso impatto ambientale e natura priva di VOC.

I partecipanti acquisiranno conoscenze pratiche su come incorporare la sepiolite e l’attapulgite nelle loro formulazioni per ottenere le proprietà reologiche desiderate, ottimizzare le prestazioni e sfruttare al meglio queste argille naturali.

In sintesi, questa conferenza offre un’ottima opportunità per i professionisti di ampliare le loro conoscenze sulle argille di sepiolite e attapulgite e su come utilizzarle come soluzione costo-efficiente, sostenibile ed efficiente per migliorare le proprietà reologiche, specialmente nelle loro formulazioni a base d’acqua.
