Under the name ADISPER, Aditivos Cerámicos markets a wide range of deflocculants specifically formulated to improve the rheological properties of glazes, slips and serigraphic pastes. The use of different polyelectrolytes and active principles in the formulation of our deflocculants allows us to offer our clients personalized solutions, with which to improve the workability and rheology of the pastes, increasing in most cases the productivity and quality of the final product. Our range of ADISPER deflocculants includes traditional formulas based on the Na+ and Mg2+ salts of the tripolyphosphate, hexametaphosphate, polyacrylate and silicate type. In addition, we also manufacture new and customized developments, based on polycarboxylates of different molecular weight, phosphonates, etc.

Within our range of ADISPER deflocculants we can highlight:

PRODUCT	APPEARANCE	USE
ADISPER TP	WHITE POWDER	UNIVERSAL
ADISPER V-1794	OCHRE LIQUID	BARBOTINE AND ENGOBE
ADISPER V-677	WHITE POWDER	UNIVERSAL
ADISPER CN-105	WHITE POWDER	UNIVERSAL

ADISPER ST	AMBER LIQUID	UNIVERSAL
ADISPER V-788D	AMBER LIQUID	UNIVERSAL
ADISPER AM	YELLOWISH LIQUID	UNIVERSAL
ADISPER V-1156	COLORLESS LIQUID	UNIVERSAL

Within this group of products we include liquids that are easy to apply and act quickly. These products are characterized by the fact that by adding very low doses, we are able to increase the viscosity of glazes, slips, serigraphy and other ceramic products. Given the different nature of each of the thickeners marketed by Adtitivos Cerámicos, we have managed to formulate multifunctional products that not only act as viscosity regulators but also allow those defects due to the preparation and application of the pastes, and/or the production process to be corrected. To optimize the production process, it is essential to regulate the viscosity of the pastes, and to be able to correct the defects that may arise due to the preparation of the pastes (i.e.: an excess of deflocculant), to the application of the same (degree of fluidity), and/or the production process (application method).

ADICEL V-1115	GLAZES	LIGANTE DE ESMALTES

Within this group of products we include all additives designed to modify the viscosity and thixotropy of enamels. Rheological additives are widely used in sanitary ceramics, where it is essential to adjust the viscosity, thixotropy and drying time of the glaze. Compared to the traditional use of CMC’s, this type of additive not only provides binding power to the enamel, but also greater thixotropy and better control of drying times. This makes it possible to obtain a good thickness of the enamel layer, in addition to avoiding application defects in the superficial layer.

Aditivos Cerámicos presents within its range of ADICIDE preservatives two lines of products: products derived from isothiazolones (MIT/CIT) and those derived from benzoisothiazolones (BIT). These two lines of formulations are presented both in solid form (absorbed on kaolin) or in liquid form at different concentrations. They are characterized by being broad-spectrum biocides both to combat bacterial growth and fungal proliferation. Preservatives formulated with isothiazolones (MIT/CIT) are highly effective at very low concentrations and present great stability in usual pH ranges (6-8.5). Formulations derived from benzoisothiazolones (BIT) have the advantage of their great stability even at pH’s above 10.

Aditivos Cerámicos presents within its range of FIXERS, different products that adjust to the densities and viscosities of work. The use of the fixer is applied on the surface of the raw enamel, and creates a thin layer that prevents contamination and distortion of the applied decoration. In Aditivos cerámicos we have developed these products to fix the designs when there is decoración digital, regardless of whether the decoration is before or after the application of the fixer.
