# CP-98 Rheology Modifier to Prevent Pigment Settling During Storage | Camp-Shinning

Pigment settling during storage can cause hard sediment, color inconsistency, and extra mixing time in solvent-based coatings. Camp-Shinning supplies **CP-98 organoclay rheology modifier** to build low-shear structure that improves suspension stability and helps reduce pigment settling in paints, inks, and related systems.

## Why Pigments Settle in Solvent Coatings
– Density differences between pigments and liquid phase
– Weak low-shear structure that cannot hold particles
– Long storage periods and temperature fluctuations
– Vibration during transport that accelerates separation

## How CP-98 Improves Suspension Stability
CP-98 helps:
– Increase low-shear viscosity to slow particle movement
– Maintain a structured network to hold pigments and fillers
– Reduce hard settling and improve re-dispersibility
– Improve batch consistency and storage stability

## Where This Benefit Matters Most
– Architectural paints with long distribution cycles
– Industrial coatings stored in drums or IBCs
– High pigment volume concentration systems
– Solvent-based printing inks and pigment concentrates

## Practical Formulation Tips
– Optimize dosage to balance stability and application flow
– Ensure complete dispersion to develop consistent gel structure
– Evaluate storage at different temperatures to confirm stability
– Check re-stirring effort and color uniformity after aging

## FAQ

### Can CP-98 prevent hard settling?
It can reduce hard settling risk by increasing structure and improving pigment suspension, depending on formulation and pigment load.

### Will it change application viscosity?
It is designed to build low to mid shear viscosity; dosage and dispersion determine the final viscosity profile.

### Does CP-98 help in printing inks?
Yes. It can support pigment suspension and viscosity stability in solvent-based ink systems.

### How can I test settling performance?
Storage aging tests, sediment volume checks, and re-dispersion evaluation are common methods to confirm improvement.
