Organoclay Rheology Agent for Petroleum

Organoclay Rheology Agent for Petroleum: If there are sedimentation or sagging problems in the production of your water-based industrial paint, and if you complain that your paint has poor water resistance, I think it is not a quality problem of your product itself, but it may be because you did not use organic bentonite. Some users complained that the zinc powder or filler sedimentation in the paint caused uneven spraying. We believe that the use of organic bentonite is the best choice. When making pre-gel, ethanol is used as pre-gel. Direct powdering will cause agglomeration. The best anti-settling effect is 0.8~1.2%.
Organic bentonite has a good anti-settling effect in wood paint, but a poor sagging effect. We recommend that you choose low-viscosity bentonite, which will not affect the feel of the paint. Add 0.5% when grinding and add 0.3% when mixing the paint. For paint coatings that have settled, we recommend that you add 0.3% bentonite, disperse at high speed, precipitate at the bottom, add 0.5% organic bentonite, and add 3% ethanol. Then test it again, and the sedimentation effect will be improved.
