Organoclay CP-40 is an modified bentonite, designed especially for use in solvent based system. It can be used widely in solvents from low polarity to medium-high polarity.
Organoclay Properties
Composition Organic derivative of a montmorillonite clay
Appearance Fine powder, light yellow
Moisture content (105℃,2hr) ≤3.5%
Loss on ignition (1000℃) 28%-31%
Bulk density 0.53g/cm3
Fineness (<74μm, %) ≥98%
Advantages– Organoclay
- High gelling efficiency,high viscosity
- Wide application range, it can be applied in all low, middle and high polarity range
- Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range
- Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers
- Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems
Organoclay Application
CP-40 is used in the following applications:
- Marine paint, Industrial paint, heavy-duty, anticorrosion paint such as bituminous coatings, epoxy paints, chlorinated rubber paints
- Grease
- Inks
- Sealant
Using
CP-40 disperses under high shear and requires a polar activator for best efficiency. Heat is not required to obtain good dispersion. Addition levels are typically in 0.2%~2.0%. Polar activator (95% Ethanol or 95% Methanol) is needed. Normally addition level of polar activator is recommended to be 45%~60% of CP-40 in weight. If in xylene system, addition level of polar activator is about 30%-40% of CP-40 in weight.
Pre-gel is made as below procedure.
- Charge solvent to mill
- Slowly add CP-40 (6-10% by weight of total pre-gel) to mill under agitation.
- Mix at high speed for 5 minutes.
- Add polar activator.
- Mix at high speed for 5 minutes.
Package
Kraft bag or kraft complex interior with PE or customized
Storage
CP-40 has a shelf life of 2 years, and should be stored in ventilated cool and dry place.
