Advantages of Rheology Modifier Clays
Clay
BS-1C-FF is an organo-clay for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.
Advantages
- High gelling efficiency over low and medium polarity organic liquids
- High viscosity and excellent thickening property over a wide temperature range.
- Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.
- Ideal thixotropy property and anti-sediment property.
- Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems
Typical Properties
| Color | Appearance | Density | Moisture (@105℃,2hrs) | Mesh Size (200 mesh) | Loss on Ignition (@1000℃) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Yellow | Free Flowing Powder | 1.75g/cm3 | ≤3.5% | ≥97% | ≤33.0% |
Typical Applications
- Adhesives and Sealants
- Anti-Corrosion Paints
- Container Paints
- Bituminous Paints
- Printing inks
- Lubricating grease
Usage
BS-1C-FF belongs to the conventional type of organo-clay group, which requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a good dispersion equipment, and a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organo-clay particles.
Polar Activator: Dosage of polar activator (such as 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95%acetone or propylene carbonate) is 30%-50% by weight of BS-1C-FF.
It is always recommended to determine the proper level of addition by experiment. Either defect or excess of chemical activator would result in poorer viscosity development.
