The amount of HFGEL-120-Q rheology modifier required depends upon the type of organic system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are typically between 8%-15% by weight of the oil.
Properties
- Physical Form
- Incorporation Information
HFGEL-120-Q belongs to the conventional type of organoclay group, which requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a good dispersion equipment, and a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.
Solvent Composition Concentration (%) Basis Methanol/H₂O 95/5 12 - 40 Based on dry weight of HFGEL 120-Q
Ethanol/H₂O 95/5 12 - 40 Based on dry weight of HFGEL 120-Q
Propylene Carbonate/H₂O 25 - 40 Based on dry weight of HFGEL 120-Q
Acetone/H₂O 25 - 40 Based on dry weight of HFGEL 120-Q
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.
Recommended Procedures:
- Heat the specific oil to 60°C~70°C.
- Add HFGEL-120-Q (8-15% by weight of total formula), mill for 5-10min.
- Add polar activator (12-40% by weight of organoclay), then add other additives,mill for 25-30min.
- Using pump for getting through colloid grinding or homogenizer.
- Remove air,filtrate and package.
Increasing dispersion speed,prolong dispersion time or enhance the temperature will improve the efficiency of HFGEL-120-Q.
