  hi, has anyone had any ‘distearyldimonium hectorite’ incompatabilities?
  I’m getting a black precipitate or complex being formed. I would guess its cationic so, ion pairing maybe?

  cheers, rodb1958

  hi, there it can happen because of the may Ions that are contained in the Hectorite. if you look into the Specification they will give you some information i would guess. maybe you need to capture them in your formulation with an EDTA or something equally Complexing so that you don’t get black Iron or something similar.
