TY-184B is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low, medium and high polarity.

1.    Advantages:

¡î High gelling efficiency over low, medium and high polarity organic liquids.

¡î Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making prege in medium-high polarity system.

¡î Excellent sag resistance and control of viscosity

¡î Good thickening property over a wide temperature range.

¡î Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.

¡î Ideal thixotropy property and anti-sediment property.

¡î Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.

4.    Incorporations:

TY-184B belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay, TY-184B does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.  

However, in low polarity system such as 200#solvent oil, white oil(mineral spirit),high speed shear and proper polar activator will be required..

Polar Activator: (such as 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95%acetone or propylene carbonate)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 TY-184B rheological additive required depends upon the type of organic system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are typically between 0.5%-2.0% by weight of the total system.
