TY-34

Rheological  Additive

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TY-34 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.

1.    Advantages:

¡î High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids,

especially in aromatic compounds.

¡î Ideal thixotropy property and anti-sediment property.

¡î High viscosity and excellent thickening property over a wide temperature range.

¡î Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers.

¡î Exerts strong film reinforce action in organic binder systems.

4.    Incorportions:

TY-34 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 95%ethanol, 95%methanol, 95%acetone or propylene carbonate) is 40%-60% by weight of TY-34.

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 TY-34 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.
