HFGEL 120-D17

HFGEL 120-D17 is a kind of modified organoclay, which has the characteristics of high purity, light gel color and good heat stability. It is a good rheology modifier for paints and inks in low, medium and high polarity solvent systems such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, esters and ketones. It is self-activated in medium to high polarity solvent systems such as xylene - esters (such as butyl acetate) and xylene - ketones (such as cyclohexanone), and sometimes an appropriate amount of polar activator is helpful for dispersing. It requires to add polar activators to help disperse in the aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as 200 # solvent oil, white oil (mineral spirit) and other low polarity solvent systems.

Recommended Use Level

The amount of HFGEL-120-D17 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%-1% based on the total formulation weight(powder direct addition usage)

Incorporation Information
  • HFGEL-120-D17 rheology modifier has good wetting and dispersing properties. It can be directly added into the system to grind (stir) and disperse with pigments and filler together, normally no need to make pre-gel .
  • High speed stirring or polar activators addition is beneficial for fully dispersion. Polar Activator:Methanol/H2O(95/5), Ethanol/H2O (95/5), propylene carbonate.
  • The adding amount of polar activator: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.
