BK®-886C 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. ¡î Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel. ¡î Consistent in rheology and thixotropy development. ¡î Excellent sag resistance and high viscosity. ¡î Easy of dispersion.

4. Incorporations:
BK®-886C belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay, BK®-886C does not require a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.
5. Recommended Levels:
The amount of BK®-886C 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.
6. International Countertypes: Bentone®SD-3, Claytone®AF
