Organoclay Rheological Additive for Low to Medium Polarity

BK-286 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems
of low to medium polarity.

1. Advantages: 
☆ High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids.
☆ Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel.
☆ Consistent in rheology and thixotropy development.
☆ Excellent sag resistance and high viscosity.
☆ Produce gel with light color and high transparency.
☆ Easy of dispersion.

2. Typical Properties: 
3. Typical Applications:
4. Incorporations: 
BK-286 belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse,
self-activated organoclay, BK-286 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the
proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.  

5. Recommended Levels:
The amount of BK-286 rheology modifier required depends upon the type of organic system
and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are typically between
0.2%-2.0% based on the total formulation weight.

6. International Countertypes: Bentone®SD-1, Claytone®HY
