# CP-98 Rheology Control Additive for Transparent Paint with Light Color Gel | Camp-Shinning
Transparent paints and clear coatings need rheology control that builds structure without haze or darkening. Camp-Shinning supplies **CP-98 organoclay rheology control additive** designed to form a **light color gel** and support high transparency in low to medium polarity solvent-based coating systems.
## Why Transparent Paint Needs Specialized Rheology
– Haze and color shift reduce clarity and visual quality
– Sagging creates thickness variations and optical defects
– Poor leveling leads to surface texture and uneven gloss
– Settling of additives can cause streaks or appearance changes
## Benefits of CP-98 for Transparent Coatings
CP-98 can:
– Form a light color gel to support transparent appearance
– Improve sag resistance while maintaining flow and leveling
– Increase low-shear structure for stability during storage
– Provide consistent rheology development for repeat production
## Typical Transparent Coating Applications
– Clear architectural finishes
– Transparent industrial topcoats
– Clear wood sealers and primers
– Light-colored coatings where appearance stability matters
## Formulation Considerations
– Confirm solvent polarity and resin compatibility
– Use proper dispersion and activation to avoid haze
– Optimize dosage for clarity and viscosity profile
– Validate anti-sag, leveling, and gloss uniformity in tests
## FAQ
### Does CP-98 affect transparency?
It is designed to support high transparency when properly dispersed in compatible solvent systems.
### What does “light color gel” mean for clear coatings?
It refers to gel structure that remains light in appearance, helping maintain clarity in transparent formulations.
### Can CP-98 improve leveling in transparent coatings?
Yes. It balances structure and flow, supporting smoother leveling and uniform film formation.
### Is CP-98 suitable for clear wood coatings?
Yes. It is often used in transparent wood finishes where clarity and appearance stability are important.
