EXPANDA® NICKEL

EXPANDA NICKEL is a natural, micro fine bentonite. It has functional use as binder, stabilizer, suspension agent, a thickening agent, and rheological  modifier. Its excellent suspending properties are due to the shear-thinning,  thixotropic behavior of EXPANDA NICKEL dispersions, which increases the yield value or resting viscosity of the final formulation. EXPANDA NICKEL combined with gums and organic thickeners, such as xanthan,  carboxymethylcellulose, or carbomers synergistically increases viscosity  and the yield value. It provides additional water absorbent capacity with superior stability in the presence of organic compounds. It has application as  a thickening, suspension, and stability agent in pharmaceutical, cosmetics,  personal care, and household products.
