Bentone ew

Bentone EW (CAS 89382-86-5), also supplied under the designations PM 495 and B-EW, is an organically modified hectorite clay used as a rheology modifier and dispersant in aqueous and solvent-based systems.

It builds viscosity, controls flow, and prevents settling in formulations where consistent texture and stability are critical to product performance. In personal care, it structures emulsions and suspensions.

This enables stable creams, lotions, and color cosmetics that resist phase separation on shelf. Coatings formulators use it to prevent pigment settling in waterborne paints and industrial coatings.

This improves application consistency and film uniformity. In adhesives and sealants, it controls sag resistance and thixotropic behavior, ensuring products stay in place during application without slumping.

Lubricant manufacturers incorporate it to maintain grease consistency and reduce separation under mechanical stress. This material is supplied as a fine powder suited for dispersion into aqueous systems.

It is available in technical grade for industrial coatings, adhesives, and lubricant applications, and in cosmetic-grade specifications meeting personal care formulation requirements.

Packaging typically ranges from small bags to bulk quantities depending on application volume. This versatile additive ensures high performance across a wide variety of demanding industrial sectors.
