CLAYMINTON 54 Traditional Organoclay (Rheological additive)

CLAYMINTON 54 is one traditional organoclay which is modified with fine Bentonite and special chemicals. It is designed for medium to low polarity solvent based system. It is particularly suitable for coatings, inks, adhesives. CLAYMINTON 54performs outstanding thickening, anti-settling property, sag control and storage stability.

Advantages and Features

Incorporation

CLAYMINTON 54 needs a bit stronger shear rate during the production for better dispersibility. Two incorporation procedures will be recommended as follows:

1）Pre-gel addition:It can be made into 8% pregel before using and then add the pregel into the mill base. The detailed procedure is
