Pangel B5 shows high thickening capacity in low polarity systems without the use of a polar activator for its dispersion.
Use of Pangel B5 has the following advantages against other conventional additives:- Lubricant greases: High thickening capacity; good stability at high temperature. Simpler manufacturing process, since polar activator co-additives are avoided.
- Drilling mud: Increased dispersibility and stability at high temperatures; high thickening and suspension capacity.
- Others: Control of sagging and dripping; improves stability.
- Product Highlights
Pangel B5 has been developed to achieve an easy dispersion in mineral oils without the need of polar activators. Cowles, dissolvers, silverson-type equipment, colloidal mills, are appropriate to achieve a good dispersion. In general, the entirety of Pangel B5 must be added in the entire formulation with a moderate agitation until appropriate wetting of the product has been achieved. Once all solids of the formulation have been added, dispersion of the product will proceed homogenizer.
