Organoclay Anti-Settling Agent
Organoclay Suspension CP-10ย Performance: 12-Hour Anti-Settling Test Results
Why Suspension Matters in Coating Formulations
In water-based and solvent-based coating systems, pigment settling and filler separation are among the most common quality issues manufacturers face. When particles settle during storage or transport, it leads to:
Inconsistent product viscosity batch to batch
Color variation in final applications
Poor film formation and uneven coverage
Customer complaints and product returns
Suspension stability is critical for maintaining rheological control throughout the product lifecycleโfrom manufacturing to end-user application.
Our Organoclay Anti-Settling Agent CP-10 Organoclay Suspension Test
To verify the anti-settling performance of our organoclay CP-10, we conducted a controlled 12-hour suspension test using industry-standard procedures.
Test Method
Gel Ratio:
WS-3040 (Solvent): 98g
Organoclay Anti-Settling Agent CP-10: 1g
95% Methanol: 1g%
Procedure:
Add Organoclay Anti-Settling Agent CP-10 while stirring at 1000 rpm
Disperse for 2 minutes
Add methanol as polar activator
Mix thoroughly at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes
Transfer 50 ml dispersion into 100 ml graduated cylinder
Observe and record suspension volume at 2h, 4h, 6h, and 12h intervals

Key Findings
1. Excellent Long-Term Suspension Stability
After 12 hours of standing, our CP-10 organoclay maintained suspension volumes ranging from 31-48 ml out of the initial 50 ml dispersion.
Organoclay Anti-Settling Agent
This demonstrates:
Minimal settling over extended periods
Consistent rheological behavior throughout storage
Superior anti-sagging performance in vertical applications
2. Batch-to-Batch Consistency
All tested batches showed stable suspension performance:
Sample 25081001: Best overallโmaintained 48 ml (96% retention) after 12 hours
Sample 251218: Strong performanceโ42 ml retention with slight fluctuation
All samples showed less than 20% volume change from initial readings
3. Comparison with Industry Standard
Sample 25022101 was tested alongside B38 industry standard. The results show our Organoclay Anti-Settling Agent CP-10 performs comparably to established market benchmarks, with consistent thixotropic response and suspension stability.
