CP-34
Organophilic Clay for Solvent-Based
Aluminum Flake Paints
Purpose-engineered organoclay delivering precise rheology control, superior anti-settling performance, and flawless metallic luster preservation in solvent-based aluminum flake coating systems.
Why CP-34 Outperforms in Aluminum Flake Paint Systems
CP-34 is specifically formulated to solve the unique rheological challenges of solvent-based aluminum flake coatings -- from storage stability to final film appearance.
Excellent Solvent Compatibility
Fully compatible with aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, and mixed solvent systems typical in solvent-based paint formulations.
- ✓ No flocculation or agglomeration of aluminum flake
- ✓ Preserves metallic luster and leafing effect
- ✓ Wide solvent polarity tolerance
Anti-Settling & Anti-Sagging
Engineered specifically for aluminum flake pigments to prevent sedimentation in storage and sagging on vertical surfaces after application.
- ✓ Prevents hard cake formation during storage
- ✓ Eliminates sag on vertical and overhead surfaces
- ✓ Maintains uniform pigment distribution
Moderate Thixotropy
Delivers optimal thixotropic behavior without compromising paint flow-out, ensuring smooth film formation and consistent aluminum flake orientation.

- ✓ Rapid gel network formation
Minimal Side Effects
Formulated to eliminate common paint defects while maintaining long-term storage stability of your aluminum flake coating systems.
- ✓ No haze, pinholes or color shift
- ✓ Long-term storage stability
- ✓ Consistent batch-to-batch performance
Superior Metallic Appearance
Precise rheology control enables perfect aluminum flake orientation during film formation, maximizing metallic brilliance and flip-flop effect.
- ✓ Enhanced flip-flop effect
- ✓ High metallic brilliance
- ✓ Consistent leafing performance

Typical Application Areas
Simple 3-Step Activation Process
CP-34 integrates seamlessly into your existing paint manufacturing workflow. No special equipment needed -- just follow these straightforward steps.
Pre-disperse in Solvent
Add CP-34 to the solvent component of your formulation. Recommended solvent: xylene, butyl acetate, or your primary paint solvent.
💡 Tip: Pre-disperse at 5-10% concentration in solvent before adding to the main batch for best results.
High-Shear Dispersion
Apply high-shear mixing using a Cowles dissolver or similar equipment. Mix at 2,000-3,000 RPM for 15-20 minutes until a smooth, lump-free gel forms.
⚡ No grinding required -- standard Cowles dissolver is sufficient for complete activation.
Add to Paint Formulation
Incorporate the CP-34 gel into your paint formula at the appropriate stage. Add aluminum flake paste under low-shear mixing to preserve flake integrity.
🎨 Result: Stable, sag-resistant aluminum flake paint with excellent metallic appearance and long shelf life.

Common Aluminum Flake Paint Challenges Solved by CP-34
Aluminum flake pigments settle to the bottom during storage, forming hard cakes that are difficult to re-disperse uniformly.
Forms a stable 3D gel network that suspends aluminum flakes uniformly. Easy re-dispersion with gentle stirring after storage.
Paint sags or runs on vertical surfaces before drying, causing uneven film thickness and poor metallic appearance.
Provides immediate yield value after application, preventing sag while allowing sufficient flow-out for a smooth, even metallic film.
Incompatible rheology modifiers cause aluminum flakes to flocculate, destroying metallic luster and creating a dull, mottled appearance.
Organophilic surface treatment ensures full compatibility with solvent-based systems. Zero flocculation, maximum metallic brilliance preserved.
Excessive or incompatible rheology additives introduce haze, pinholes, or color shift in the final dried film, reducing aesthetic quality.
Optimized particle size and surface chemistry ensure clean, defect-free films. No haze, no pinholes, no color shift at recommended dosages.
