Lubricating Grease Grade Organoclay how to use

GDGEL-S18 ORGANOCLAY RHEOLOGICAL ADDITIVE

Organophilic Clay Description：

GDGEL-S18 is a kind of organo clay rheological additive.  Especially it is recommended to be applied in medium polarity and high polarity system including aromatic and aliphatic solvent.

Solvent Based Rheological Additives Properties：

Composition                                Organic derivative of a montmorillonite clay

Appearance                                 Fine light powder,

Moisture content (105℃,2hr)         ≤3.5%

Loss on ignition (1000℃)              40% Max

Bulk density                                0.40-0.60g/cm3

Fineness (<74μm, %)                  ≥98%

Solvent Compatible Bentonite Application:

●   Paints including decorative paint, industrial paint

●   Oil drilling mud

●    Grease

●    Ink

●    Oil Putty

Rheology Modifiers Thickeners Using:

GDGEL-S18 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 0.2%~1.0%. In low polarity system such as mineral spirit, if polar activator is added, better efficiency can be achieved. Dosage of polar activator is suggested to be 10%-20% of GDGEL-S18 by weight.

How to choose the suitable Organoclay for Solvent Based Paints/Coatings/Inks/Lubricant Grease?

The following 5 points can help us recommend the suitable grades.

1.      The solvent polarity (low, middle, high) and the percent of solvent composition they are using.

2.      Do they need to make pre-gel with addition of polar activator or add with dry powder.

  Our easy dispersing grade can be added directly, but some grades need to add polar activator and make gel.

3.      what’s resin system? The Bentonite should be used in unsaturated resin or epoxy resin system or the others?

4.      what is your purpose of organoclay when used in paint, ink, lubricant grease? Is it anti-sagging ability or anti-settling ability?

5.      Do they make finish or primer paint? Do they have the special requirement of transparency, color, matting capability etc.?
