BYK Claytone® AF Rheological Additive
Categories: Ceramic; Clay; Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer

Material Notes: Claytone AF is a modified montmorillonite designed to be used in aliphatic and aliphatic/aromatic systems that exhibit low to medium polarity. Claytone AF functions as a thixotropic rheology modifier generating properties such as flow control and anti-setting. Claytone AF provides reliable and reproducible rheological properties in solvent based paints, stains, enamels, primers, and inks as well as other applications. Claytone AF does not require the use of a polar activator to achieve full efficiency.

Applications:

  • Oil based paints and stains
  • Adhesives
  • Caulks and sealants
  • Cosmetics and personal care
  • Inks
