Application Guidelines
Follow these recommended procedures to achieve optimal performance from our organoclay additives in metal coating formulations.
Incorporation Method
Pre-activation (Recommended)
Add organoclay to polar activator (methanol or acetone) at 30-50% of organoclay weight. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
High-Shear Dispersion
Add activated organoclay to resin system under high-shear mixing. Maintain 1500-3000 rpm for 15-20 minutes.
Temperature Control
Maintain temperature at 60-80°C during dispersion for optimal gel development and viscosity build.
Final Adjustment
Add remaining formulation components and adjust viscosity as needed. Allow 30-60 minutes for full development.
Formulation Optimization
Dosage Recommendations
- • Primer systems: 2-4% by weight
- • Topcoats: 1-3% by weight
- • High-build coatings: 3-5% by weight
- • Specialty applications: 1-6% by weight
Best Practices
- • Always use polar activator for optimal performance
- • Avoid over-shearing after gel formation
- • Test compatibility with other additives
- • Store activated systems below 30°C
Troubleshooting
- • Poor gel: Increase activator or mixing time
- • Excessive viscosity: Reduce organoclay dosage
- • Poor dispersion: Check activator quality/quantity
- • Settling issues: Verify organoclay grade selection
