Organoclay pre-gel type

The pre – gel type of organoclay is a tailored variant that works exceptionally well in grease – based environments, thanks to its specific interaction mechanism with oils.

Upon contact with grease，this pre – gel organoclay undergoes swelling and develops a colloidal system with a structure similar to layers. This colloidal framework can entrap oil molecules, enhancing the viscosity and thickness of the oil – based system.

The swelling ability of the pre – gel type is determined by the features of its interlayer structure and how well it is dispersed.

As a thickening agent, it functions by means of surface modification, enhanced dispersion stability, and the display of swelling capabilities, which allow it to interact with oils and create a stable colloidal system.

The pre – gel type organoclay provides more durable and steady thickening results, able to cater to the requirements of various oil systems.

Organoclay is the commercially available organically modified clay mineral used as a rheology modifier and anti-settling additive in oil-based systems including drilling fluids, solvent-based coatings, and lubricating greases; full product specifications are at organoclay — product specifications and application guide. The organophilic clay surface chemistry, dispersion method, and compatibility with different base oils and solvents are explained in organophilic clay — surface chemistry and industrial applications.
