| ADVANTAGES |
| Ease of incorporation and dispersion |
| Enhanced rheological characteristics |
| No hard settling and sagging |
| Prevents flooding and excessive penetration |
| smooth application and uniform coat surface |
| prevent film cracking and allows thicker coats |
| compatible with a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic blended solvents |
|
|
| INCORPORATION |
|
CATONE CLAY in low polarity organic systems require high speed shear and the addition of a predetermined chemical activator(polar additive)for complete dispersion and optimum gelation (formation of a gel structure) |
| CATONE CLAY can be introduced effectively |
| 1)As a dry powder for in-situ gelation |
| 2)Predispersed in the resin/solvent premix with the activator(optimized) |
3)As an optimized pregell of higher concentration as required or for post correction of the flow properties of the paint with adequate shear.
|
| RECOMMENDED LEVELS |
| The level of CATONE CLAY depends on the individual system in which it is to be used.For the house paints and industrial paints,typical levels of additionals are 0.2% to 0.8% for a road paints 0.6% to 1% based on the total system weight in synthetic resin system,0.5% to 1.5% are recommended. |
