CELITE 266 is a functional additive mineral that provides benefits in viscosity control and suspension properties. As a diatomite, CELITE 266 has an amorphous structure making it well suited for viscosity and rheology modification. CELITE 266 can maintain stable suspensions without sedimentation, an important property for long-term performance. With a specific gravity of 2.3 and 84% reflectance, CELITE 266 can provide opacity and hiding power. Its chemical purity makes it well suited for demanding formulations. CELITE 266 is widely used as a functional additive where viscosity and suspension control, opacity and hiding are important considerations.
