Thixotropic additive | Thixotropic gel additive
Thixotropic additive is a kind of organoclay rheological additive, somebody called it thixotropic clay or thixotropic gel additive.Thixotropic agent with good advantages in oil drilling mud fracturing and paints coating. It can produce very good thixotropic gel.Disperses easily in less time with less shear ,high performance viscosifier for low aromatic, all mineral oil and synthetic base fluids.
Thixotropic Agent / Rheology Modifier
Camp Shinning thixotropic agent is a low shear thixotropic additive also for water-based paint and grease lubricnat formulations. This rheology modifier provides improved viscosity stability after tinting with universal colorants in water-based coatings systems.
Benefits of Thixotropic Agents | thixotropic gel additive
Camp Shinning thixotropic additive is an organoclay. Benefits include highly effective storage stability, as well as the prevention of settling and separation.
Camp Shinning thixotropic additive is ideal for brush and roller applications and allows for efficient flow and leveling. It can be optimized to create a gel structure that is dosage dependent.
FEATURES
Low shear thixotropic thickening agent for use in water-based coatings systems whose binders contain free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups
Develops viscosity in the low shear range to prevent settling and separation
Improves viscosity stability of a coating after tinting with Universal Colorants
Can be used as post additive to adjust the final viscosity of a formulation

Thixotropic additive has good cost- effectively builds viscosity and yield point. Aids control of fluid loss to the formation ,Increases emulsion stability ,Suspends weighting materials and other solids .Confers stability at the pressure and temperature 108Pa and 230℃.
The thickening agent produce by camp shinning does not contain any odor and can be used as a post additive to adjust final viscosity in formulations. The concentration level is important as too high a level can lead to excessive crosslinking, which may cause separation and structure loss.

Cleaning agent
Using
1. Pre-gel method
A. Polar activator is not necessary:
a. Main solvent xylene: 95~92%
b. Rheology organoclay CP-720B:5~8%
c. Dispersing 5-15min, gel is finished.
B. Polar activator is necessary:
a. 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 thixotropic clay.
2. Procedure of adding gel:b. 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 thixotropic clay.
A. Charge solvent and resin to mill
B. Slowly add the gel
C. Dispersing 5-10min
D. Wetting agent (if required)
E. Disperse completely to desired fineness
F. Dilute to desired viscosity
3. Add directly with powder
A. Charge solvent and resin
B. Add Organo bentonite CP-720B slowly
C. Disperse 10-15min
D .Add polar activator (if necessary)
E. Disperse 10-15min at high speed
F. Add wetting agent and other additive
G. Grind and next procedure
Solvent Borne Organoclay 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.
We recommend adding Camp Shinning thixotropic gel additive at the end of the formula under good mixing conditions to prevent gel seeds from forming and to develop a homogeneous gel structure.
