Usage Guidelines Optimal Incorporation Procedures
Follow these recommended procedures to achieve optimal performance and consistency when incorporating organoclay into your gravure ink formulations.
Incorporation Process
Pre-mixing Preparation
Add organoclay to a small portion of the solvent system with high-speed mixing to create a concentrated premix.
Polar Activator Addition
Add polar activator (methanol, ethanol, or acetone/water 95:5) at 30-40% of organoclay weight while mixing.
High-Shear Dispersion
Continue high-shear mixing for 15-20 minutes to ensure complete activation and dispersion of the organoclay.
Gradual Dilution
Slowly add the remaining ink components while maintaining agitation to achieve uniform distribution.
Final Processing
Pass through triple roll mill or bead mill for final dispersion and particle size reduction if required.
