BYK Optigel® WH Clay Additive
Categories:	Ceramic; Clay; Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer
Material Notes:	Description: OPTIGEL® WH is produced from natural, colloidal aluminum silicate by a unique process. The high purity and consistent viscosity of OPTIGEL® WH are made possible by our selective mining and rigid process control from the crude ore to the finished product. OPTIGEL® WH is thixotropic in nature. It is most beneficial when it is used in combination with other rheological additives to produce the desired rheological properties in a paint system. Suitable co-thickeners include cellulosics, alkali swellables, and urethane thickeners. OPTIGEL® WH is a very economical thixotrope. OPTIGEL® WH is a fraction of the cost of most cellulosic thickeners. OPTIGEL® WH contributes to excellent spray atomization properties. Application: Economical Heat Stable Chemical Stability with Co-Solvents Shear Tolerant Enzyme-Proof Rapid Shear Recovery Low High Shear Viscosity High Low Shear Viscosity Wide Ph Range Tolerance (6-12) Information provided by Southern Clay Products
