Incorporation Procedure
Pre-heat Base System
Heat the oil-based paint system to 60-70°C if conditions permit. This improves dispersion efficiency and reduces mixing time.
Add Organoclay
Slowly add organoclay powder while stirring at moderate speed. Typical dosage: 1-3% by weight of total formulation. Mix for 5-10 minutes.
Add Polar Activator
Add polar activator (acetone/water 95/5) at 20-30% of organoclay weight. This enhances gel formation and rheological properties.
High-Shear Mixing
Apply high-shear mixing for 25-30 minutes. Use dispersing equipment or grinding machine for optimal gel development.
Final Processing
Complete with filtration and deairing if required. Allow adequate time for full gel development before final viscosity assessment.
Best Practices & Tips
Dosage Optimization
Start with 1% dosage and adjust based on desired viscosity. Higher dosages may cause over-thickening.
Mixing Sequence
Always add organoclay to the liquid phase, never the reverse. This prevents agglomeration and ensures uniform dispersion.
Time Development
Allow 24-48 hours for complete rheological development. Initial viscosity may be lower than final values.
Storage Conditions
Store in dry, well-ventilated area at 0-30°C. Keep containers sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Temperature Considerations
Heating during incorporation improves efficiency, but avoid excessive temperatures that may degrade paint components.
