Acrylic Paint Additives

The Ultimate FAQs Guide

This guide will answer all questions you have been asking about organoclay acrylic paint additives. So if you want to be an expert in organoclay acrylic paint additives, read this guide.

What are Organoclay Acrylic paint additives?

The organoclay acrylic paint additives is a high purity, low silica content. It is very easy to disperse and has a relatively fine particle size. Organoclay acrylic paint additives is widely applied to almost all resins and solvent systems, including water based systems.

 Simply understood as the organoclay acrylic paint additives is a modified organic bentonite clay. Its raw material is montmorillonite clay and its appearance is white powder. 

There are some types of organoclay bentonite whose appearance is light yellow. 

If you have special requirements for the color of your paint, we can provide you with the corresponding color. According to your requirements, the color difference comes from our special attention in selecting bentonite raw ore.

 Which Industries use Organoclay Acrylic paint additives?

Organoclay acrylic paint additives is widely used in many industrial fields because of its excellent rheological properties and thixotropy, and even its good suspension. The most widely used is in paint and coating.

Organoclay is also widely used in lubricating grease and sealant. Organoclay has very good anti settlement performance.If your grease is stored for a long time, Organoclay will greatly reduce the ability of grease and anti settlement.

Organoclay is also widely used in oil field drilling because it has good suspension performance and can even protect the good wall of the whole well.

Some well-known ink factories in the world also choose Camp Shinning’s organoclay bentonite, because it can prevent the settlement of pigments, and thixotropy can also get good results.

How to better improve the dispersion performance of Organoclay Acrylic paint additives?

As a well-known manufacturer of organoclay acrylic paint additives, Camp Shinning has rich experience in basic application.

How to improve the dispersion of organoclay acrylic paint additives, our answer is very direct, we suggest you use polar activator.

There are many kinds of polar activator in the market. We mainly recommend you three types here.One is propylene carbonate.

This is the first choice for many of our users.Followed by ethanol and methanol.This is also an activator widely used by many users.

Of course, a small number of customers use water as a polar activator in the market. In fact, the effect is also very good.Finally, which polar activator will you choose as your dispersion tool? We suggest you prove this through experiments.

 Of course, the addition amount of activator also needs to be verified through repeated experiments.

What is the addition amount of general polar activator?

According to our experiments and the situation of our users, we found that the amount of polar activator used in our pre gel type organoclay bentonite is about 30~40% of the total weight of the whole formula, 

and the amount of the easy dispersing grade organoclay used in paints,coatings is about 10%~20% of the whole formula weight. 

These data are only a data range for you to refer to after our experiment. I hope you can get your most ideal dosage through the experiment.  In fact,as acrylic paint additives are only a part of application of organoclay bentonite.

 Is there any Requirement for Shearing when Using Organoclay Bentonite?

When using organoclay bentonite, especially as an acrylic paint additives, we have high requirements for shear. 

Generally, we require high shear, that is high-speed shear,if you use camp shinning’s pre gel grade organoclay,we suggest you that is high shearing.and if you use easy dispersed organoclay bentonite, we suggest you use midium or low to midium shearing. 

Our easy dispersed organoclay bentonite includes CP-MP,CP-10,CP-MPZ,CP-APA,CP-EZ10,CP-MPS etc. Camp Shinning’s pre gel grade  organoclay bentonite includes CP-34,CP-40,CP-180,CP-180B,CP-GL,CP-27 etc. 

According to our requirements, after adding polar activator, but with such shear strength, its activation degree will reach 100%. Only when fully activated can our formula achieve the best effect, and all functions can be fully displayed.

What is the Addition Amount of General Organic Bentonite as Acrylic paint additives?

As an acrylic coating additive, organoclay’s main addition amount is generally between 0.2% ~ 2%. For the specific addition amount, please obtain the best quality standard and addition amount you finally need through experiments.

 Are there Quality Standards for Organoclay Acrylic paint additives?

Unconditionally, the organoclay acrylic paint additives must measure with several quality standards, including:

• ISO standard

• National industry standards.

• Identification of safe transportation of goods.

• Even patents.

 Can you Adjust the Formulation for our Organoclay Acrylic Paint Additives?

Yes,  before you purchase organoclay acrylic paint additives, we can adjust the content of the formula, such as its pH value and its loss on ignition, including the moisture content, which can be adjusted according to the requirements of end users.

So at the beginning of communication, we need you to clearly tell us the experimental steps and processes, as well as the general content of your whole formula.

 How much does Organoclay Acrylic paint additives Cost?

There are many aspects which go into the pricing of a organoclay acrylic paint additives including; raw materials, application, function, PH value, moisture content and loss on ignition.

 In different seasons, the price of raw materials also changes greatly,  Therefore, our regular quotations are valid for about one month.

 Is there difference between Water Based Organoclay Acrylic paint additives and Solvent Based Acrylic paint additives?                                                  

Yes, there is a big difference between  water based organoclay acrylic paint additives and solvent based acrylic paint additives 

Water borne bentonite is a kind of clay mineral with montmorillonite as the main component. It has good  adsorption, thixotropy, floatability and cation exchange.

 Organoclay acrylic paint additives is characterized by less addition, high compressive strength, good air permeability and strong heat resistance.

 Organoclay acrylic paint additives is an organic amine compound, which is used as raw material for organoclay, and the lamellar structural foundation of montmorillonite in bentonite can be dispersed into colloidal and colloidal particles in water or organic solvent.

 It is made of organic covering agent through ion exchange technology.

 Organoclay acrylic paint additives can form better gel in various organic solvents and oil liquid resin. It has good chemical stability such as thickening, suspension stability, high temperature stability, lubricity, film-forming, mutation and water resistance.

It has important application value in coating industry, and is also widely used in paint, ink, petroleum and other industries.
