Incorporation Information
  • HFGEL-120-X belongs to the easy dispersible type of organoclays group. HFGEL-120-X does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks. For improved performance in low polarity system, a polar activator is recommended
  • HFGEL-120-X 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.
