# CP-98 Rheological Additive to Control Flooding and Floating in Paint | Camp-Shinning

Flooding and floating can cause shade variation, mottling, and uneven color development in solvent-based paints. Camp-Shinning supplies **CP-98 organoclay rheological additive** to improve pigment distribution through controlled rheology structure, helping reduce color separation and improve coating uniformity.

## What Causes Flooding and Floating
– Differences in pigment wetting and density
– Weak rheological structure that allows pigment migration
– Solvent evaporation gradients during film formation
– Inadequate suspension stability during storage and application

## How CP-98 Helps Control Color Separation
CP-98 can:
– Build low-shear structure that reduces pigment movement
– Improve mid-shear viscosity for stable application
– Support consistent pigment suspension during storage
– Reduce the risk of shade variation and color drift

## Where Flooding and Floating Control Matters
– Decorative solvent-based paints and colored finishes
– Industrial coatings requiring shade consistency
– Pigment concentrates and tint bases
– Coatings stored and shipped over long distances

## Practical Use Notes
– Confirm dispersion quality to achieve uniform rheology network
– Adjust dosage based on pigment type and loading
– Evaluate drawdown appearance and color uniformity
– Combine with appropriate wetting strategies if needed

## FAQ

### Can CP-98 reduce shade variation in colored paints?
Yes. By improving rheology structure and pigment stability, it can help reduce flooding and floating effects.

### Does it also prevent pigment settling?
Yes. The same structure that reduces color separation also improves anti-settling behavior.

### Will it impact gloss or leveling?
It is designed to balance structure and flow; correct dosage and dispersion support smooth leveling and stable appearance.

### How can I test flooding and floating control?
Drawdown comparisons, accelerated storage testing, and controlled application trials are common methods to evaluate improvement.
