CLAYTONE APA is a rheological additive designed to efficiently function in hard to adjust, high polarity systems without energy intensive processing. As a modified montmorillonite, CLAYTONE APA generates thixotropic properties to provide flow control and anti-setting in solvent based formulations. CLAYTONE APA reliably delivers reproducible rheology without the need for activators, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled viscosity and sag resistance. As a versatile thickening agent, CLAYTONE APA allows for optimized performance at typical use levels of 0.2% to 2% by weight.
