bs-1c-0 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.
polar activator: dosage of polar activator (such as 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95�etone or propylene carbonate) is 30%-50% by weight of bs-1c-0.
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 levels:
the amount of bs-1c-0 rheology modifier required depends upon the type of organic system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. addition levels are typically between 0.5%-3.0% by weight of the total system.
