YH-170 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low,Website: ,medium and high polarity.1. Advantages:☆ High gelling efficiency over low, medium and high polarity organic liquids.☆ Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range.☆ High viscosity and excellent thickening property over a wide temperature range.☆ Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.☆ Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.☆ High purity:high percentage of montmorillonite,free cristobalite <1%.☆ High efficiency:save 30%dosage compared with ordinary grades.☆ Good dispersion:self-activated in medium/high polar system.Its fineness can reach 10μ or even less. 2.

Incorporations:YH-170 belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay, YH-170 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks. YH-170 can be added at any point in the manufacturing process. If addition is made with polar activator or after grinding,better performance can be expected.Polar Activator: Dosage of polar activator( such as propylene carbonate, 95%ethanol , acetone or 95% methanol) is 20%-30% by weight of YH-170.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 YH-170 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%-0.8% based on the total formulation weight.6.
