BP®-183-0 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.

• Advantages:
• ☆ High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids,

especially in aromatic compounds.

   ☆ Ideal thixotropy property and anti-sediment property.

   ☆ 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.

• Incorportions:

BP®-183-0 belongs to the conventional type of organoclay group, which requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a goods dispersion equipment, and a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.

Polar Activator: Dosage of polar activator (such as 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95%acetone or propylene carbonate) is 40%-60% by weight of BP®-183-0.

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.

• Recommended Levels:

The amount of BP®-183-0 rheology modifier required depends upon the type of organic system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are typically between 0.2%-2.0% based on the total formulation weight.

• International Countertypes: Bentone®34，Claytone®40
