Organo clay Rheological Additive

What are rheological additives?

Organo clay Rheological Additive

Bentonite has been modified to become a thickening rheology agent, which has the properties to control rheological properties. At the same time, it is very superior in thixotropic properties, so many paint and coating manufacturers choose our organic bentonite.

Its biggest feature is that it has relatively good gelling properties and is easy to disperse. If you do pre-gelling, its effect will be even better in terms of performance. During this process, we recommend that you add a polar activator, such as water, methanol, ethanol, but our most recommended is propylene carbonate. It can promote the full performance of each performance.

It is also very important to use organic bentonite as a step in the entire formula, because if it is added in the wrong order, it will affect the compatibility with other raw materials.

Rheological additive uses

It has an extremely wide range of applications. In addition to the inks and paints we mentioned above, it can also be used in cosmetics. Currently, in cosmetics, we mainly use it in nail polish and lotion. Because organic bentonite has an effective preliminary effect and has thickening rheological properties, many cosmetic companies like to use this product.

Regarding the use of additive amounts, we hope you can draw conclusions through practice, because the final results you want to obtain in terms of matching performance of different formulas depend on your dosage.
