FRGEL®HMP500 is a special modified organoclay. It is a product of rheological additives for a very wide range of solvent based formulation and non solvent formulation. FRGEL®HMP500 is optimized for Epoxy, Vinyl Ester and unsaturated polyester Resins.FRGEL®HMP500 is an easier dispersing thixotropic agent compare with conventional organoclay.

unsaturated polyester, epoxy resin and vinyl ester resin, inks, paints, sealant and adhesives. Suitable solvents/Resins: Aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, terpenes, white spirit ,mineral oil, paraffine toluene ,xylene ,kerosene , heptane, aliphatic hydrocarbons with lower content of aromatic compounds,also mixture with polar compounds as methanol ,ethanol, propanol, butanol, methl ethylketone ,methyl isobutyl ketone, acetone ,ethyl acetate, propylene carbonate, ethyl glycol acetate etc. The percentage of polar compounds should not be more than 50%. And FRGEL®5800 also work as excellent activator for solvent based formulation.

Advantages

Stable viscosity and easy dispersing. Less dust and easier to handle. It produces reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide solvent range, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder system

Incorporation
FRGEL®HMP500 can be incorporated into organic liquids using either high shear or high speed dispersing equipment. Optimum gelling efficiency is usually obtained when the proper degree of mechanical, chemical energy are applied to the system. FRGEL®HMP500 can be used by dispersing in solvent (like: Styrene) as pre-gel, while directly dry add into resin formulation, the very high dispersing speed is requested like 3500-5000rpm , or using rolls mill or other type of higher shear force machine,. Use levels of FRGEL®HMP500 are generally 0.2-6.0 % by weight of the system.
