Product Details

CRAYVALLAC® MT is a micronised amide modified hydrogenated castor oil rheology modifier for solvent-based and solvent-free coatings.

CRAYVALLAC® MT is suited to coating systems based on aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbon/alcohol blends. Compared to the most basic hydrogenated castor oil based rheology modifiers, CRAYVALLAC® MT is more tolerant to stronger solvents. The result of this is a lowered risk of problems such as seeding and false-body. The following table gives processing temperature guidelines for some solvent systems commonly used in coatings:
Aliphatic hydrocarbons 35 - 75°C (95 - 167°F)
Aromatic hydrocarbons 30 - 50°C (86 - 122°F)
Aromatic hydrocarbon/Alcohol blends 30 - 50°C (86 - 122°F)
Solvent free epoxy coatings 40 - 60°C (104 - 140°F)

CRAYVALLAC® MT is best incorporated during the pigment dispersion stage using a high-speed disperser operating at a temperature within the recommended guidelines. In order to obtain the maximum performance from CRAYVALLAC® MT, the dispersion process should be maintained for a period of 20 – 40 minutes at the recommended temperature.
