Specification :

BP-185 is an organo clay (modified montmorillonite), designed especially for use in solvent based system. It is used especially in solvents of high polarity.
It is suggested to be used to replace Bentone27 and Bentone57.

Advantages

� High gelling efficiency
� Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range
� Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.
� Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems.

Typical properties

Composition: Organic modified bentonite
Appearance: Fine powder, light yellow
Moisture content(105,2hr): d3.5%
Loss on ignition, %(1000): 34.7%

Application
� Marine paint, Industrial paint, heavy-duty, anticorrosion paint (especially for epoxy paint).
� Grease.
� Ink.

� Unsaturated polyester putty.

Using

BP-185 disperses under high shear and requires a polar activator for best efficiency. Heat is not required to obtain good dispersion. Addition levels are typically in 0.2%~2.0%. Normally addition level of polar activator (95% Ethanol or 95% Methanol) is recommended to be 45%~60% of BP-185 in weight.
