GENERAL INFORMATION
BK-884 is an organoclay for solvent-based systems of low to medium polarity.
ADVANTAGES
☆ High gelling efficiency over low to medium polarity organic liquids, especially in
aliphatic and aromatic solvent and the compound of above.
☆ Easy of incorporation. No need for polar activator or making pregel.
☆ Consistent in rheology and thixotropy development.
☆ Excellent sag resistance and control of viscosity.
☆ Produce gel with light color and high transparency.
☆ Can be added at any step, even can be used in post-addition to correct the final
viscosity of a certain batch.

BK-884 belongs to the unconventional type of organoclays group, being a
self-activated organoclay, BK-884 does not require a chemical (polar) activator to
reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.
BK-884 can be added at any point in the manufacturing process. If addition is made
with polar activator or after grinding, better performance can be expected.
RECOMMENDED LEVELS
The amount of BK-884 rheology modifier required depends upon the type of organic
system and the degree of thickening or other properties desired. Addition levels are
typically between 0.2%-2.0% based on the total formulation weight.
HEALTH AND SAFETY DATA
Before handling this material, read the corresponding Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for
safety, health and environmental data.
SHELF LIFE
BK-884 has a shelf life of at least two years from date of manufacture. Store in a
cool dry place.
