Application Guidelines

Best practices for incorporating organoclay into paint formulations

Solvent-based Paint Systems

Typical Dosage

0.5% - 3.0% by weight of total formulation

Addition Procedure

  1. Add organoclay to resin/solvent blend under high-speed mixing
  2. Mix for 10-15 minutes to ensure complete dispersion
  3. Add polar activator (if required) at 0.3-0.5% level
  4. Continue mixing for 5-10 minutes
  5. Add pigments and other additives

Polar Activators

  • Propylene carbonate
  • Acetone/water (95:5)
  • Methanol

Water-based Paint Systems

Typical Dosage

0.2% - 1.5% by weight of total formulation

Addition Procedure

  1. Pre-disperse organoclay in small amount of water
  2. Use high-shear mixing to create smooth paste
  3. Add to main paint formulation gradually
  4. Mix thoroughly until uniform consistency
  5. Adjust pH if necessary (7.5-8.5 optimal)

Key Considerations

  • Use water-based grades (CP-EW, CP-WBS)
  • Monitor pH during formulation
  • Ensure adequate hydration time

Performance Optimization Tips
