Product overview
Organoclay Rheology Modifier is an organically treated clay family used to build thixotropy, prevent pigment settling and control sag in solvent-borne and selected waterborne coating systems. Polarity range, activation method and grinding sequence must match the resin and solvent package.
Function & Usage
- Control Rheology & Water Retention
Controls viscosity, suspension, sag resistance or water retention in suitable coating and construction formulations. Typical uses: Solvent-borne paint thickening, Anti-settling and anti-sag control, Protective, marine and industrial coatings.
- Build Industrial & Protective Coatings
Provides a binder, pigment, curing or performance function for compatible industrial and protective coating systems. Typical uses: Solvent-borne paint thickening, Anti-settling and anti-sag control, Protective, marine and industrial coatings.
- Control Paint Rheology, Sag & Settling
Controls viscosity profile, application flow, suspension, anti-settling or anti-sag behavior in a compatible coating system. Typical uses: Solvent-borne paint thickening, Anti-settling and anti-sag control, Protective, marine and industrial coatings.
Product information
- Applications:
- Solvent-borne paint thickening, Anti-settling and anti-sag control, Protective, marine and industrial coatings, Adhesives, sealants and inks
- Hazard / Transport:
- Fine organoclay dust may irritate the respiratory tract and can present combustible-dust concerns depending on organic treatment. Confirm quaternary treatment chemistry, residual moisture and the current SDS.
- Storage:
- Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse. Protect from moisture, contamination and direct weather exposure; avoid dust accumulation and use first-in, first-out inventory control.
