gelling agent in drilling | Organophilic Clay

Gelling agent

Bentonite clay gelling agents is also called montmorillonite clay, which is a non-metallic mineral with this as the main component. In terms of texture, it is soft and has good water absorption and swelling properties.

The organoclay bentonite clay we produce is made from this montmorillonite.

At present, due to the different raw materials, there are many colors of bentonite, such as white, milky white, light gray, light red, black, etc.

However, when we produce organophilic clay bentonite oil gelling agents, many customers, especially those in the fields of lubricating grease and paint coatings, have specific requirements for color.

They prefer to obtain organic bentonite with good glossiness, even transparent gel-like properties. Therefore, when choosing raw materials, we tend to choose white or almost white or milky yellow raw materials as the raw materials for our organic clay organobentonite. The requirement for the color of the raw ore of bentonite is also because we hope that our final organic bentonite can satisfy customers in terms of color glossiness.

The structure of bentonite is also relatively complex and rich.

There are fine sand like, silty sand like, and muddy stains like. Of course, there are also some volcanic fragments.
Strong water absorption is a major characteristic of the local area. When it is placed in water, it will rapidly or slowly expand, and the maximum water absorption volume can reach about 15 times.

The expansion ratio of bentonite clearly indicates that it is a product with extremely strong water absorption.
At the same time, the adhesion and plasticity of bentonite are also very strong.
From the perspective of mineral composition and its properties, bentonite can be divided into Calcium-based bentonite and nano bentonite.

So bentonite clay is an important non-metallic mineral. Currently, the global resources of bentonite are relatively abundant, but high-quality bentonite resources are very limited.

There are a large number of bentonite clay mines in Xinjiang, Gansu, and other places in China.These bentonite minerals are mainly calcium based bentonite, while the Na Bentonite is relatively rare and concentrated in a few countries around the world.

Therefore, countries all over the world attach great importance to the exploration of those bentonite clay resources. We can use bentonite to purify petroleum products, or use it as bleaching earth.

But at present, the organic clay bentonite we are selling in China is mainly to help oilfield drilling fluid achieve suspension and protect its well wall, while the use in paint and coating is mainly to help it achieve its thixotropic and rheological properties.
China’s organoclays rheology modifier is also one of the countries with rich bentonite resources in the world.

At present, the mining output is 2 million tons, mainly concentrated in the eastern and northeastern regions of China, such as Liaoning, Shandong, Jilin, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Henan, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia and other regions.

The quality of bentonite ore is relatively good, mainly concentrated in Liaoning, Jilin, Zhejiang and Xinjiang.
These abundant bentonite resources have also created favorable conditions for us to modify organo clay bentonite, which has also provided us with good quality control at the source of the organic bentonite we produce.

With the above information, we hope you have a better understanding of China’s organic bentonite and greater confidence in the organic bentonite we produce.

Because of our raw ore, the quality of bentonite is very high. Welcome to inquire about our organiclay bentonite gelatin gelling agent. We will be willing to introduce you to more information about Chinese organoclay bentonite.

Gelling agents in cosmetics,we recommend our CP-27 for you. It is a cosmetic gelling agent organoclay.

Gelling agents in cosmetics

Cosmetic gelling agent CP-27 is a good rheology modifier in cosmetics. Mainly used for nail polish and lotion.

Organophilic clay is an organo clay (modified montmorillonite), designed especially for use in solvent based system including intermediate and low polarity range organic Inks.

• Exerts gelling efficiency over a wide range of intermediate and low polarity
• Easy dispersing
• The gel is colourless and of high clarity
• Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range
• Imparts particle suspension, sag resistance without impairing flow and leveling, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers
• Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems

We recommend that you test the sample to get the final result you need. The most important thing is that we hope to verify whether it matches your formula through the test.
