BENTONE SD-3 works particularly well in medium to high polarity organic systems. BENTONE SD-3, with its newly improved dispersibility, makes it particularly suitable for conventional, high solids and solventless industrial and maintenance coatings systems. Anticorrosive Coatings Automotive Primers Industrial Bake Air Dry Maintenance Coatings Primers Topcoats Trade Sales BENTONE SD-3 Disperses well under low shear conditions Provides high efficiency Provides superior sag control properties Usable in a wide range of solvent polarities Eliminates need for polar activation Cost effective The use level of BENTONE SD-3 depends on the system in which it is used. For typical applications 0.2% to 1.0% is recommended. High build systems may require up to 2% BENTONE SD-3. exterior architectural primer, Alkylaryl ammonium hectorite clay.
