BENTONE 1000
Rheological Additive
BENTONE 1000 rheological additive, is a new high efficiency organoclay for low to intermediate polarity organic liquids and solvents. This new rheological additive is designed for use in the dispersion phase of paint making without the use of a chemical activator. With greater efficiency and better reproducibility, BENTONE 1000 gives the paint manufacturer added time, energy and raw material cost savings.
Applications
BENTONE 1000 additive is an efficient replacement for organoclay additives in coatings containing aliphatic solvents (mineral spirits, VM&P naphtha, etc.) trade sales paints, varnishes, light industrial finishes, traffic paints, industrial maintenance paints and marine coatings.
Advantages
Easy to use Highly efficient development of rheological additive Very consistent rheological properties Eliminates pregels Eliminates need for chemical activators in conventional solvent systems
Incorporation
BENTONE 1000 additive increases rheological performance using typical incorporation procedures during the manufacturing process. This rheological additive should be incorporated in the dispersion phase under high shear. A pigmented cowles dispersion is sufficient. A polar additive is not required. As with conventional organoclays, BENTONE 1000 additive does not disperse efficiently in cold systems. The best performance conditions are achieved when dispersion takes place at or above 24C (75F) in the pigment grind. BENTONE 1000 it is not sensitive to high temperatures. There is generally no need to pregel BENTONE 1000 additive. However, if desired, BENTONE 1000 can be used as pregel/slurry activated with water. Example: Mineral Spirits BENTONE 1000 Water 87 10 3
