GENERAL INFORMATION
CPT- GEL 340 is an organoclay,which has the characteristics of strong versatility and
light gel color.It presents good thixotropic performance and ideal dispersion property in a
wide range of solvent systems.It is suitable to low to medium polarity aliphatic and
aromatic systems. It can work without polar activator in mixed solvents with medium to
high polarity, such as benzene, ketone, ester, etc. It needs to add a certain amount of
polar activator in low polarity system to get good thixotropic property.
INCORPORATION
Polar Activator:Methanol/H2O(95/5), Ethanol/H2O (95/5),Acetone/H2O(95/5) are
recommended in 200 # solvent oil or other petroleum solvents, mineral oils, and other
fatty hydrocarbons.
The adding amount of polar activator is usually 20-40% of the amount of CPT- GEL 340. 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.
