Organo clay Rheological Additive
Organobentonite rheological additive is mainly used in paints and coatings. It is also widely used in inks and greases. At present, the largest usage is still in fracturing fluids and oilfield drilling fluids. If you happen to need to use a thickening rheology agent, then our organic bentonite clay is your best choice.
Organoclay is a clay-mineral rheology modifier that provides shear-thinning behaviour and thixotropic recovery in solvent-based systems where cellulosic or polyurethane thickeners are incompatible; the full product range and classification are at rheology modifiers — organoclay classification and performance overview. Rheological additive types, performance comparisons, and selection criteria across different system polarities are covered in rheological additives — types, performance, and selection guide. To source clay-mineral rheology modifiers directly from the manufacturer, see organoclay supplier — clay-mineral rheology modifier factory.

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.
We sincerely hope that you will consult us about organic bentonite and ask for price and samples. Our samples are free, and we also provide engineers to provide professional technical guidance, so that you can better use our products and achieve growth. The final satisfaction was obtained in terms of thick rheological properties.
