Special Features and Benefits
  • CLAYTONE PS3 is a new generation organoclay designed for use in unsaturated polyester laminates and gelcoat resin systems, CLAYTONE PS3 offers distinct advantages over other commercial products.
  • The increased dry sieve size of CLAYTONE PS3 offers the customer a far less dusty product.

Due to its unique morphology and chemical composition, CLAYTONE PS3 displays an anti-air entrapment characteristic previously
not available in clay-gelled polyester layups.
· CLAYTONE PS3 provides consistent rheological properties upon which customers have come to depend.
· CLAYTONE PS3 eliminates settling, controls syneresis and provides stable viscosity and thixotropic properties.
· CLAYTONE PS3 provides superior application properties such as enhanced drainage control and glass wetting.
