CLAYTONE-VZ is a rheology additive in powder form based on an organophilic phyllosilicate. It is ideally suited for influencing the flow behavior of polar to medium-polarity systems. CLAYTONE-VZ produces thixotropic flow behavior, providing significant improvement to the anti-sagging properties while maintaining good leveling. This optimizes storage stability, and prevents pigments and fillers from settling. CLAYTONE-VZ develops a strong thixotropy that provides a smooth application behavior. The additive improves in particular the resin separation on top of the surface during storage.
