OPTIGEL® WM is an organically modified bentonite which has been specially developed as a thickening agent for aqueous systems. Due to its high thixotropy, it is particularly suited for improving consistency and stability of emulsion paints. Although the powder is slightly tinted, it is easy to incorporate and has no influence on the colour of the pigments added.
