Benaqua 5000

Rheological additive for construction products

BENAQUA 5000 rheological additive is an easily dispersible powder designed for tile mortars, textured and high-build coatings, stucco and water-borne adhesives. It is especially useful in dry systems where water is added prior to use.

BENAQUA 5000 provides high viscosity in the low- to medium-shear-rate region. It gives superior sag resistance at low package viscosity compared with conventional thickeners, as well as improved shear-thinning rheology. Incorporation of BENAQUA 5000 also improves workability and open time in mortars.
