Bentone® 54K

Bentone® 54K by Elementis acts as a rheology modifier designed for low to intermediate polarity organic systems. It is an organic derivative of a bentonite clay. It increases viscosity, provides thixotropy, prevents pigment settling during storage and improves flow & leveling.

• It controls sagging on vertical surfaces & penetration on porous substrates and prevents syneresis in thixotropic systems.
• It offers improved dispersibility that increases flexibility in the paint manufacturing process.
• Applications include anti-corrosive paints, industrial finishes, interior & exterior house paints including do-it- yourself paints, primers, printing inks, road marking paints.
• Recommended dosage level is between 0.2 and 1.0% (dry) based on total system weight.
• Bentone® 54K has a shelf life of 4 years.
