Brief introduction

HFGEL-120-A  is an organic derivative of a bentonite clay with high purity, easily dispersible and self-activated. This highly efficient Rheology Modifier is designed for medium to some part of high polarity organic systems. The proper solvent can be aliphatic hydrocarbon, esters, ketone, and benzene. If using the medium to high polarity solvent such as the xylene, xylene-esters (e.g. butyl acetate), or xylene-ketone (e.g. acetone), the  HFGEL-120-A can be added as a dry powder for in-situ dispersion and activation without the addition of activator. If using the low polarity solvent such as 200# solvent or white oil, the HFGEL-120-A needs the help of activator for fully dispersion and activation. The activator can be 95% alcohol, typical levels range between 30-40% activator based on organic bentonite weight. The performance of HFGEL-120-A  is similar to Bentone SD-2, Claytone APA, Tixogel-MP250.
