Solvent based Organoclay for Offset Inks

GDGEL-S14 RHEOLOGICAL ADDITIVE

Organoclay Rheological Additive

GDGEL-S14 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).

Solvent Based Rheological Additives 

Properties:

Composition                      Organic derivative of a montmorillonite clay

Appearance                       Fine white powder,

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

Loss on ignition (1000℃)            40% Max

Bulk density                       0.35-0.45g/cm3

Organophilic Montmorillonite Clay

Application:

● Paints & coatings

● Inks

● Lubricant Grease, ink, sealant

● Sealants & Adhesives

● Cosmetic

Using:

GDGEL-S14 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%.

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.?
