TITANOS PRT-986 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.
-
Ideal thixotropy ,anti-sagging,anti-sediment property.
-
Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.
-
Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.
-
Good dispersion performance.

4. Incorportions:
PRT-986 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 propylene carbonate, 95%ethanol , acetone or 95% methanol) is 30%-60% by weight of PRT-986.
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 PRT-986 rheological additive 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®38, Claytone®40, Tixogel®VP-A
