HFGEL 120-B12

HFGEL 120-B12 is an organophilic clay designed for use in aromatic and polar systems such as those containing aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, glycol ethers, and esters. It does not require use of a chemical activator to reach optimal efficiency. HFGEL 120-B12 can be incorporated at any point in the manufacturing process using common processing equipment. HFGEL 120-B12 provides stable rheology and helps control sag and pigment settling.

Physical Form
Incorporation Information
  • HFGEL 120-B12 is readily dispersible in the pigment grind under high shear in medium to high polarity solvent systems. It does not require heat or a chemical activator to reach the proper level of activation.
  • HFGEL 120-B12 should be dispersed in resin/ solvent for at least 30 minutes followed by wetting agents and pigments with additional dispersion to desired fineness.
