Organoclay for adhesive formulations

The anti-penetration performance of organic bentonite ensures the long-term retention of grease in sealed components, thanks to its dense three-dimensional gel structure.

This structure has a porosity of only 5%, far lower than the 15% porosity of traditional greases, effectively preventing base oil from leaking out of sealed gaps.

In bearing seal tests, lubricating grease containing organic bentonite exhibited a leakage rate of only 0.5g after 200 hours of operation, compared to 3g for traditional products, thereby reducing the frequency of lubricant replenishment.

Under vibrational conditions (frequency 10-50Hz), its anti-permeation performance is even more pronounced, with a lubricant retention rate of 90%, ensuring continuous lubrication of precision components such as gearboxes and hydraulic valves.

A wind turbine gearbox application case study shows that using this grease reduces annual grease replenishment by 60% and lowers equipment maintenance costs by 40%.

Clay-based organoclay thickeners in grease formulations provide stable gel structure, high dropping point, and oxidation resistance across a wide temperature range; full product specifications and grease application data are at organoclay for greases — clay-based thickener performance data. Grease formulation guidelines, including dosage, shear stability, and mixing procedures, are covered in organoclay-based greases — formulation and application guide.
