- Product Highlights
CLiQFLOW LED provides a controlled shear thinning flow behavior to non-aqueous formulations. It improves storage stability, like anti-settling behavior and provides excellent sag resistance.
CLiQFLOW LED is easier to disperse than standard organoclays. It allows a more flexible production setup and is designed for direct incorporation into the pigment and extender grinding stage.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Level of Use
CLiQFLOW LED is best dispersed with pigments and extenders to achieve the required clay delamination. The use of a polar activator (e.g. ethanol/water, propylene carbonate etc) is not necessarily required but might be beneficial depending on the production conditions.
CLiQFLOW LED can also be incorporated into the final formulationusing a standard organoclay pre-gel with a concentration of 5-10% by weight. Organoclay pre-gels require a proper polar activator for stability.
The required loading level depends strongly on the nature of the system and performance requirements. A starting level of 0.2 –0.5% is recommended.
