GARAMITE® -1958 by BYK is a rheological additive for solvent-borne systems. Compared to fumed silica and organoclays, it provides improved sag (drainage) resistance, control of settling, metallic orientation and stability. It is also more efficient and easier to handle in manufacturing (less dusty, higher bulk density and not sensitive to shear). Due to its patented mixed mineral thixotrope technology, the additive provides these properties at lower viscosities than are seen with conventional thixotropes. GARAMITE® -1958 exhibits dispersion ease, viscosity stability, shear stable, syneresis prevention, gel time stability and increased efficiency. Recommended dosage is 0.3-1.5% of additive based upon total formulation.
