Product Description:
Bentogel BG4 is a rheological additive, specifically an organoclay, used to modify the flow properties of paints, inks, and other coatings. It’s made from purified and modified bentonite clay (both Na- and Ca-bentonite) and offers excellent thickening and anti-settling properties in organic solvents. Bentogel BG4 is known for its high gel efficiency, good viscosity repeatability, and ability to prevent pigment settling.
Benefits:
- Rheological Modifier: Bentogel BG4 is a thickener or rheology modifier, meaning it influences how a liquid flows and behaves under stress.
- Solvent Compatibility:
It is designed for use in a wide range of organic solvents, including those with low to medium-high polarity. - Anti-Settling: A primary function is to prevent pigments and other solid particles from settling out of the liquid formulation during storage.
- Thickening: It provides effective thickening, increasing the viscosity of the liquid and controlling its flow properties.
- Thixotropy: Bentogel BG4 exhibits thixotropic behavior, meaning it becomes less viscous when stirred or agitated, and then thickens again when left at rest.
Properties:
It’s commonly used in industrial paints, printing inks, and can also be found in sealants, lubricating greases, and putty.
