This rheological additive is designed for low to intermediate polarity organic systems. Applications Adhesives,Anti-corrosive paints,Automotive finishes,Bituminou compositions,Buffing compounds,Coil coating systems,Dip coatings,Finishes for household appliances,Greases,High-build systems ,Industrial finishes,Interior and exterior house paints including do-ityourself paints,Knifing fillers,Mould release agents,Paint stripper pastes,Plastisols,Primers, undercoats, fillers,Printing inks,Putty and caulking compounds,Refinishes for household appliances,Road marking paints,Underbody sealants and sound-absorbing compounds,Wood preservatives and finishing systems Waxes,Wood preservatives and finishing systems Tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite. Used as a rheological additive to give high gelling efficiency over a wide range of intermediate and low polarity organic liquids including various hydrocarbon oils, and solvents. Produces reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range. Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigments and fillers. Offers strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems. Gives sag resistance without impairing flow and leveling. Controls flooding and floating of colors. Prevents excessive penetration of liquid vehicles into porous substrates. <br> Applications: interior and exterior paints, stains, tube colors, mastic compounds, asphaltic compositions, and news inks. <br> Use level: 0.4-2 % based on total system weight.
