BK-884Ais an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-basedsystems of low,medium and high polarity.1. Advantages:
☆High gelling efficiency over low,medium and high polarity organic liquids,especially in aliphaticand aromatic solvent and thecompound of above.
☆Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel.
☆Consistent in rheology and excellent thixotropy development.
☆Excellent sag resistance and control of viscosity.
☆Produce gel with light color and high transparency.
☆Can be added at any step,even can be used in post-addition to correct the final viscosity of a certain batch.
☆Upgrade version of BK-8842. Typical Properties:ColorAppearanceDensityMoisture

4.Incorporations:BK-884Abelongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay,BK-884Adoes not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks. BK-884A can be added at any point in the manufacturing process. If addition is made with polar activator or after grinding,better performance can be expected.5. Recommended Levels:The amount of BK-884A rheology modifierrequired 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.6. International Countertypes: Bentone®SD-1,Bentone®SD-2,TIXOGEL®MP-100,TIXOGEL®EZ-100,Claytone®HY/AF.
