Self-activated Organophilic Bentonite Rheology Modifier BT-381

BT-381 is a high-performance, self-activated organophilic bentonite rheological additive. Engineered for superior ease of use, it can be incorporated directly into the paint-making process without the need for pre-gels or polar activators. BT-381 offers excellent dispersibility, achieving a fineness of less than 40μm, and is specifically optimized for mid-to-low polarity solvent systems. It provides exceptional anti-settling and anti-sag control, effectively forming a stable flocculation structure to ensure optimal rheological performance in high-end paints, inks, and sealants.
