Product Description:
Bentogel BG3 is a rheological additive, specifically an organoclay, used to improve the properties of various materials, particularly in coatings, inks, and other applications. It’s made from modified bentonite clay (both Na-bentonite and Ca-bentonite) and is known for its ability to enhance thixotropy, prevent settling, and control viscosity. It’s effective in both solvent-based and water-based systems.
Benifits:
• Rheological modification:
Bentogel BG3 alters the flow properties of materials, providing desirable characteristics like thixotropy (shear-thinning behavior) and sag resistance.
• Anti-settling:
It helps prevent pigments and other solid particles from settling out of suspension, maintaining a uniform product.
• Viscosity control:
It can be used to adjust and stabilize the viscosity of formulations, ensuring proper application and performance.
• Wide solvent polarity range:
It can be used in a variety of solvents, from low to high polarity.
• Good dispersion:
It disperses well in the medium it’s added to, ensuring even distribution of the additive.
Properties:
• Coatings:
Improving sag resistance, film thickness, and leveling in paints and other coatings.
• Inks:
Providing proper viscosity and preventing pigment settling in printing inks.
• Personal care products:
Used as a thickening agent in various formulations, according to R.E. Carroll, Inc..
• Other applications:
Used in adhesives, sealants, and other formulations where rheological control is desired,
