Organoclay for greases

Organoclay bentonite significantly enhances the extreme pressure performance of grease, providing reliable anti-wear protection for heavy-duty equipment.

A case study at a steel mill’s rolling mill bearings demonstrated that using extreme pressure grease containing organo bentonite clay reduced bearing wear by 50%, extended the grease change interval from 1 month to 3 months, and significantly reduced equipment maintenance costs and downtime.

Meanwhile, the enhanced extreme pressure performance did not affect other key indicators of the grease, with its drop point, penetration, and other properties remaining stable, demonstrating excellent overall performance.

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.
