Bentone SD-2 | SD 2

Rheological Additive for Moderate to High Polarity Organic Media Easy to Incorporate

BENTONE SD-2 rheological additive is an organic derivative of a bentonite clay. It is designed for use in moderate to high polarity systems containing solvents such a ketones, esters, glycol ethers and alcohols, including polar systems with some aromatic solvents. BENTONE-SD 2 is easy to incorporate and can be added dry to the pigment grinding process without requiring the use of a chemical activator or the preparation of a pregel. It may be used for post correction.

APPLICATIONS:

• Acid-curing systems
• Adhesives
• Anti-corrosion paints
• Automotive finishes/primers
• Epoxy systems
• Foundry paints
• Gravure printing inks
• Industrial finishes
• Inorganic zinc-rich coatings
• Maintenance coatings
• NC lacquers/inks
• Paint removers
• Polyester repair putties
• PU two-pack systems
• Sealants
• Vinyl paints (high-build)

KEY PROPERTIES:

• is a cost-effective replacement for conventional organoclay additives
• disperses very easily, even under low shear conditions
• provides stable viscosity build, controls sag and pigment settling
• eliminates the need for pregels
• ·needs no chemical activator
• can be added as a powder to the millbase either before or after the pigment dispersion or during letdown
