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%.
