Rheology modifier (rheological additive) CP-10A is a kind of organo clay rheological additive. It is used in systems of non-polar to medium polarity aliphatic and other solvents (ketones, ester, ether esters, alcohols, aromatic)
Properties
Composition Organic derivative of a montmorillonite clay
Appearance Fine powder,white
Moisture content (105℃,2hr) ≤3.5%
Loss on ignition (1000℃) 30%-34%
Bulk density 0.35~0.45g/cm3
Fineness (<74μm, %) ≥98%
Dispersion fineness (μm) ≤40
Advantages
- High efficiency
- The gel is of light colour and high clarity
- Easy to use, no need to pregel
- Eliminate polar activator
- Consistent development of rheology
- Can be used to post correct
Application
CP-10A is used in the following applications:
- Paints
- Sealants &adhesives
- Inks
- Cosmetic
- Nano-composite
Using
CP-10A can be added directly in powder without polar activator and making pre-gel. But better performance may achieve if polar activator is added and pre-gel procedure is affected.
The addition is recommended to be before grinding procedure to get the best effectiveness. Addition level is commonly 0.2%~1.0%.
