Description
ATPN-S284 is a modified synthetic magnesium lithium silicate with pronounced platelet structure. When dispersed in water, ATPN-S284 forms a transparent, pourable liquid up to a concentration of 25% solids. In resin formulations, however, significant thixotropy and a high yield value can be incorporated.

Key Features and Recommended Use
Due to its excellent dispersibility, ATPN-S482 can be used as a powder additive in high-gloss and transparent waterborne products. The preparation of pumpable 20–25% pregels with ATPN-S482 is also possible. However, note that during the production of a (for example) 20% pregel, the initial viscosity may be high; thus, the material should be added slowly to water. After 1 hour, a 20% gel typically exhibits good flow properties.
ATPN-S482 enables the production of stable systems. Its thixotropic characteristics significantly improve application properties, including reduced sagging and the ability to apply thick coatings. Additionally, ATPN-S482 prevents settling of heavy pigments or fillers.
As a thixotropic anti-settling agent, ATPN-S482 can thicken and stabilize emulsion paints. The recommended dosage ranges from 0.5% to 4% (based on the total formulation). It is also suitable for use in:
· Adhesives
· Emulsion paints
· Sealants
· Ceramics
· Grinding pastes
· Water-reducible systems.
Preparation & Handling Guidelines
· Suspension in deionized/soft water:
· Low-viscosity suspensions (up to 25% concentration) can be prepared under low shear.
· Stable handling viscosity for several hours.
· Hard water adjustment:
· Demineralization required (e.g., ion exchange, polyphosphates, Zeolite).
· Accelerated swelling methods:
· Heat (35–60°C), high-shear mixing, or electrolyte addition.
