Acrylic Thickener

Acrylic Thickener also named paint thickening agent and organoclay rheology modifier.Acrylic thickener has good thixotropy and thickening. Rheologieadditive could assist paint and pigment manufacturers to produce stabilized emulsions and anti settling solutions.

Anti settling agent also named paint thickening agent and thixotropic agent for epoxy (common name Organoclay ). 

In paint industry, organoclay could use for solvent based paint and water based paint. 

Rheologieadditive is adapted for aromatic solvent, ester, ketone, alcohol and resins in medium and high polarity such as two-component polyurethane, fluorocarbon coating, epoxy coating, zinc-rich coating etc.

Organoclay bentonite CAS ：68953 – 58 -2

How To Use Thixotropic clay

1. Pre-gel method
2. Polar activator is not necessary:
3. Main solvent xylene: 95~92%
4. Thixotropic clay :5~8%
5. Dispersing 5-15min, gel is finished.
6. Polar activator is necessary:
7. In aromatic solvent, the recommend activator is methyl acohol/water (95%/5%)/ acolhol/water (95%/5%), the dosage is 33%-45% based on the weight of CP-720B.
8. In mineral oil (such as 200#), white oil, diesel oil, the recommend activator is methyl acohol/water (95%/5%)/acolhol/water(95%/5%), the dosage is 33%-60% based on the weight of CP-720B.
9. Procedure of adding gel:
10. Charge solvent and resin to mill
11. Slowly add the gel
12. Dispersing 5-10min
13. Wetting agent (if required)
14. Disperse completely to desired fineness
15. Dilute to desired viscosity
16. Add directly with powder
17. Charge solvent and resin
18. Add Thixotropic clay slowly
19. Disperse 10-15min

D .Add polar activator (if necessary)

1. Disperse 10-15min at high speed
2. Add wetting agent and other additive
3. G.Grind and next procedure

It can be added directly in powder under high shear condition. The addition is recommended to be before grinding procedure to get the best effectiveness. Addition level is commonly 0.1%~2.0%. If add polar activator and make pre-gel, better efficiency can be achieved.
