# CP-98 Rheological Additive to Improve Sag Resistance and Leveling | Camp-Shinning

Solvent-based coatings must resist sagging on vertical surfaces while still leveling smoothly to produce a uniform finish. Camp-Shinning supplies **CP-98 organoclay rheological additive** to build controlled structure at low to mid shear, helping coatings achieve better **sag resistance** without sacrificing flow and leveling.

## Why Sag and Leveling Are Hard to Balance
– High build films can slump or run during application
– Over-thickening can create poor leveling or texture defects
– Solvent evaporation can change viscosity during open time
– Pigments and fillers influence structure and surface appearance

## How CP-98 Improves the Balance
CP-98 helps:
– Increase low-shear viscosity to hold film on vertical surfaces
– Build mid-shear structure for stable spray and brushing behavior
– Maintain flow for smooth leveling and reduced brush marks
– Improve coating stability during storage and transport

## Typical Applications
– Architectural solvent-based paints
– Industrial primers and topcoats
– Protective and anticorrosive coatings
– Wood primers and transparent finishes
– Printing inks and solvent-based concentrates

## Formulation Tips
For best sag and leveling improvement:
– Match CP-98 to solvent polarity and resin system
– Use proper dispersion and activation methods
– Adjust dosage based on film build and application method
– Validate leveling, sag index, and storage stability in trials

## FAQ

### Can CP-98 improve leveling without increasing defects?
Yes. It builds controlled structure and can maintain flow when properly dispersed and dosed.

### Does CP-98 work for high-build coatings?
Yes. Low-shear structure helps hold film on vertical surfaces and reduce slump.

### Is CP-98 suitable for transparent coatings?
Yes. It forms light color gels and supports high transparency in clear systems.

### Can CP-98 also improve storage stability?
Yes. Rheology structure helps prevent settling and maintains consistency during storage.
