Inorganic Thickener Bentonite

Inorganic thickener is a water-based organic clay bentonite, attempting to change its name from the original bentonite to a water based lubricant, water based paint, and water based grease, ink additive.

The main function of inorganic thickener is to increase viscosity and change its flow characteristics, achieving a thickening effect. Currently, the most commonly seen inorganic thickeners on the market is organic clay organobentonite.

Organoclays bentonite thickener with Inorganic, when used in water based paint coatings, water based lubricating greases, and water based inks, can increase the overall formula and achieve a certain degree of stability in viscosity, especially when it appears and maintains a good stable state under high temperature and pressure.

Strictly speaking, modified organic bentonite has not been modified, and bentonite has better thermal stability, making it suitable for applications exposed to high temperatures.

Of course, Anti settlement agent is also an inorganic thickener clay, and a major advantage of bentonite  is that it can transform the flake structure into a state that helps prevent the settling and separation of pigment box particles, and always maintains good dispersion of the solution.

We have also mentioned hydrophobicity multiple times because organic clay has good water resistance and can always maintain good performance in systems containing some water.

The main applications of bentonite thickeners include drilling mud to increase viscosity and enhance suspension.

  In water treatment, it serves as a filtering ability to fulfill some of the needs of water treatment.

In the cosmetics application field, especially in skin care products and beauty products, it is used as an adhesive thickener and emulsifier. For example, nail polish lotion, organic bentonite is required.

So we can simply understand it as an inorganic thickener in the form of organic clay. Its main goal is to improve and enhance the rheological properties in industrial applications, and achieve the requirements for thickeners in water based and solvent based systems through differences in chemistry and modification.

Therefore, Camp Shinning is a professional provider of solutions for water based thickeners and solvent based thickeners ( is bentonite organic or inorganic ) source manufacturer.

Organophilic clay is an organo clay (modified montmorillonite), designed especially for use in solvent based system including intermediate and low polarity range organic Inks.

• Exerts gelling efficiency over a wide range of intermediate and low polarity
• Easy dispersing
• The gel is colourless and of high clarity
• Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range
• Imparts particle suspension, sag resistance without impairing flow and leveling, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers
• Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems

We recommend that you test the sample to get the final result you need. The most important thing is that we hope to verify whether it matches your formula through the test.
