The long oil alkyd paint prepared with BENTONE organoclay show better anti-settling performance than As seen

As seen in Table 1.8 and Figure 1.9, in the conventional Long Oil alkyd paint formula, BENTONE organoclay
Aluminium Stearate at same loading level (1% based on total formulation) are illustrated in Figure 1.7. rheological additive exhibits higher viscosity build, better sag control and pigment suspension but at lower

In early 20th century, Aluminium Stearate has been used as thickening agent in production of varnishes,
lacquer and oil paints. Aluminium Stearate was found to coat the surface of pigment particles and helped
prevent settling in oil as well as reducing the amount of oil need to wet the pigment. Aluminium Stearate is
insoluble in water but soluble in benzene, turpentine oil, mineral oil and common solvents when it is hot.
