What is Organoclay ?

When many users ask what is organoclay bentonite, we must clearly answer some of its specific application fields. Below we list the different use scenarios for your reference.

For coating.However, when organobentonite is applied to paint coatings, it can effectively improve its chemical properties, such as enhancing thixotropy, improving rheological properties and anti settlement properties.It is widely used in powder paint, wood paint, marine paint and other fields.

Used for drilling fluid.In the oil and natural gas industry, the main chemical composition of drilling fluid is widely used.

It can stabilize the well bore, control the performance of rheological additives, and prevent formation damage. At the same time, it can protect the well wall and clean some of the well bottom.

Grease.If the base oil of your grease is diesel, mineral oil, vegetable oil or synthetic oil, our organic bentonite can be compatible with your grease formula. It has good high temperature and high–ressure stability, and has strong anti–ettlement performance. When you store the grease for a long time, its settling performance can be controlled.

Cosmetics.Organic bentonite is also widely used in some personal care cosmetics, such as nail polish, skin care products, etc. They help to change the texture and stability of these products, especially its thickener performance is a target performance that many cosmetics need to be used. We mainly use CP27A in cosmetics.

Of course, organic bentonite is also widely used in water based coatings and water based paints or in some water–ased systems. As long as your goal is to achieve thickening, rheological thixotropy, anti–ettlement and suspension properties, water based organic bentonite can also meet your goals of these properties in water based formulations.

 When you mention what is organobentonite, we need to explain the specific chemical advantages of organobentonite in different application fields, that is, its performance advantages. We list the following points for your reference.

When organic clay is applied to different industrial fields, its chemical advantages are obvious, higher than those of most thickener.  

What is Organoclay ?

Improve rheological properties. The paint organoclay with high surface area can make it better compatible with other materials in a formula, which can ultimately improve the rheological properties of the whole product.

When our organic bentonite is used as a thickener in the paint coating, it will realize the change of the rheological properties of the paint coating formula.The fluidity and levelness we often refer to can be collectively referred to as rheological properties in the whole formula.

What is Organoclay ?

Better compatibility. Especially in the field of oil field drilling, when conducting natural gas or oil exploration, organic clay is highly compatible with other organic solvents.

When it is added to the drilling fluid, it can increase its viscosity and improve the ability to bring drilling cuttings to the ground. As a thickener, it is also used in the production of polymers to enhance the compatibility of different materials, thus realizing the expectation of mechanical properties.

Improve suspension performance.In fact, suspension performance is the most necessary performance for oil field drilling and oil exploration, so when we add organiclay, the whole  slurry will have suspension performance at night.

In general, the contribution and advantages of organobentonite to all walks of life are concrete.

From the improved rheological properties and enhanced thixotropic properties and suspension properties, it has become a multi–unctional and valuable raw material. With the continuous development of technology, organobentonite will realize and play its role in more application fields.
