Specifications BK-885 is applicable to middle and high polar solvent system, especially in solvents which
BK®-885 Rheological Additive ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BK®-885 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of medium to high polarity. 1. Advantages: High gelling efficiency over medium to high polarity organic liquids, especially in xylene, heavy aromatics, butyl acetate, ketone, alcohol and compound of above. Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range. Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers. Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems. 2. Typical Properties:
