Organoclay Rheological Additive for Low to Medium Polarity

Product Description

BK-286 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems
of low to medium polarity.
1. Advantages:
☆ High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids.
☆ Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel.
☆ Consistent in rheology and thixotropy development.
☆ Excellent sag resistance and high viscosity.
☆ Produce gel with light color and high transparency.
☆ Easy of dispersion.
2. Typical Properties:

Color	Appearance	Density	Moisture (@105ºC,2hrs)	Fineness through 200 mesh	Loss on Ignition ( @1000ºC )
Light White	Free Flowing Powder	1.6g/cm3	≤3.5%	≥98%	≤40%

3. Typical Applications:

Paint	Ink
Adhesives	Wooden paint
Sealing material

4. Incorporations:
BK-286 belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse,
self-activated organoclay, BK-286 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the
proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.
5. Recommended Levels:
The amount of BK-286 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.
6. International Countertypes: Bentone®SD-1, Claytone®HY
