1.    Advantages:

PYY-001A is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.

Ø  High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids, 
especially in aromatic compounds.
Ø  Ideal thixotropy property and anti-sediment property.
Ø  High viscosity and excellent thickening property over a wide temperature range.
Ø  Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.
Ø  Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.

4.    Incorporations:

PYY-001A belongs to the conventional type of organoclay group, which requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a goods dispersion equipment, and a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.

Polar Activator: Dosage of polar activator (such as 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95%acetone or propylene carbonate) is 40%-60% by weight of PYY-001A 

It is always recommended to determine the proper level of addition by experiment. Either defect or excess of chemical activator would result in poorer viscosity development.

5.    Recommended Levels:

The amount of PYY-001A 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 Countertype: Bentone^®34，Claytone^®40

7.    Packaging and Storage:

 Paper packages plus internal polyethylene film bags,or paper packages with valve mouths are used.The weight of each package is generally 25±0.25 kg  according to customer demands.
