BK®-884 is an organoclay (tetraallkyl ammonium bentonite) for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.
1. Advantages:
☆ High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids,especially in aliphatic and aromatic solvent and the compound of above.

4. Incorporations:
BK®-884 belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an
easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay, BK®-884 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of
delamination of the organoclay platelet
stacks.
BK®-884 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.
5. Recommended
Levels:
The amount of
BK®-884 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.
