Organoclay Rheological Additive BT-184

BT-184 is a traditionally modified, high-viscosity organoclay rheological additive supplied as a light-yellow free-flowing powder. Specially engineered for solvent systems dominated by aromatic hydrocarbons, it delivers exceptional thickening power, strong gelling action, and outstanding anti-settling control. By forming a robust gel network with the assistance of a polar activator, BT-184 ensures stable consistency and ideal thixotropic properties across a wide temperature range, providinga highly cost-effective rheological solution for heavy-duty industrial coatings, putties, sealants, and lubricating greases.

Features & Applications

A light-yellow, free-flowing powder, this product is an organically modified bentonite based on tetra-alkyl ammonium compounds. It is primarily suitable for solvent systems dominated by aromatic hydrocarbons. It provides efficient gelling action in medium- to low-polarity organic solvents, imparting ideal thixotropic properties to the system.

The product exhibits high viscosity, strong thickening power, excellent anti-settling performance, and maintains stable consistency from sub‑zero to elevated temperatures. It enhances film formation in organic binder systems and requires a polar activator for optimal performance.

It is widely used in: paints, inks, sealants, lubricating greases, putties, body fillers, ready‑mixed paints, and similar applications.
