BK®-886D 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 viscosity control. ¡î Easy of dispersion. ¡î Can be added at any step,even can be used in post-addition to correct the final viscosity of a certain batch. ¡î Produce gel with light color and high transparency.

4. Incorporations:
BK®-886D belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being an easy-to-disperse, self-activated organoclay, BK®-886D 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®-886D 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-2, Claytone®APA
