SD‑1 Self‑Activating Organo Bentonite (CAS 68953‑58‑2) is organoclay rheological thickener tailored for low‑polar solvent coating systems. Unlike conventional organophilic bentonite, this self‑activating grade does not require additional polar activator during dispersion. When subjected to suitable high‑shear mixing, it forms stable colloidal network inside low‑polar resin‑solvent matrix. The developed gel network effectively inhibits pigment sedimentation and prevents sagging on vertical substr
SD‑1 Self‑Activating Organo Bentonite, CAS 68953‑58‑2, is surface‑modified organoclay manufactured from purified bentonite clay via special organic quaternary ammonium salt modification. This self‑activating grade is engineered for low‑polar solvent‑based coating systems where traditional bentonite thickeners face poor swelling efficiency. Special surface modification removes the necessity for extra polar activator. Under proper high‑shear dispersion, the clay platelets exfoliate and reconstruct a delicate three‑dimensional colloidal network within low‑polar resin‑solvent medium. The network provides outstanding static anti‑settling effect for heavy pigments and fillers; meanwhile it delivers remarkable anti‑sag performance on vertical painting surfaces. Under paint spraying or brushing shear force, the network breaks temporarily to offer favorable leveling. After construction, the network rebuilds rapidly to avoid sag defects. SD‑1 keeps minimal interference to coating gloss and drying property, showing consistent batch‑to‑batch quality for industrial coating production.
