YH-180 TDS Organic Bentonite
YH-180 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low,Website:http://www.organophilic-clay.com,medium and high polarity.1. Advantages:? High gelling efficiency over low, medium and high polarity organic liquids.? Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range.? High viscosity and excellent thickening property over a wide temperature range.? Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.? Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.? High purity:high percentage of montmorillonite,free cristobalite <1%.? High efficiency:save 30%dosage compared with ordinary grades.? Good dispersion:self-activated in medium/high polar system.Its fineness can reach 10? or even less.?2.

Incorporations:YH-180 belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay, YH-180 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.?YH-180can be added at any point in the manufacturing process. If addition is made with polar activator or after grinding,better performance can be expected.Polar Activator: Dosage of polar activator( such as propylene carbonate, 95%ethanol , acetone or 95% methanol) is 20%-30% by weight of YH-180.It is always recommended to determine the proper level of addition by experiment. Either defect or excess of chemical activator would result in poorer viscosity development.5. Recommended Levels:The amount of YH-180 rheological additive required depends upon the type of organic system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are typically between 0.2%-0.8% based on the total formulation weight.6.
