Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Data
- BS-1C-B15 belongs to the easy dispersible type of organoclays group.
- BS-1C-B15 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.
- However,in low polarity system, polar activator will be required.
- BS-1C-B15 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.
