HDK® N20 is offered in following packaging:
Application
- paper bags on pallet:
HDK® N20 is applied as a thickening and thixotropic 10 kg bags
agent in many organic systems, e.g. in unsaturated
polyesters, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, - Big bags:
cosmetics and others. It is used as a reinforcing filler 150 kg (big bags on pallets)
in elastomers, mainly silicone-elastomers. HDK® N20
