One of the notable properties of organoclay is its strong adsorption performance, which enables it to be extensively applied in the purification of sewage and wastewater. It can efficiently capture and remove organic compounds from wastewater, playing a crucial role in water treatment. The steps for wastewater treatment with organoclay are as follows: organobentonite is added to the target organic wastewater in a specified ratio. The mixture is then processed through stirring or microwave irradiation, allowed to stand for sedimentation, and undergoes solid – liquid separation. The treated water is released only after passing emission standard tests. This exceptional adsorption property highlights organoclay’s effectiveness in addressing environmental water treatment needs.
The CP series of organic bentonite is mainly used in solvent-based and water-based paints, coatings, inks, lubricants, cosmetics, and oilfield drilling fluids.
Rheology modifiers are an organo clay (modified bentonite), designed especially for use in solvent based system. Organic Clay can be used widely in solvents from low polarity to medium-high polarity.

Organoclay properties
- High gelling efficiency,high viscosity
- Wide application range, it can be applied in all low, middle and high polarity range
- Produce reproducible thixotropic consistency over a wide temperature range
- Imparts particle suspension, preventing hard settling of pigment and fillers
- Exerts strong film reinforcing action in organic binder systems
Application of Organo clay
Organo clay is used in the following applications:
- Marine paint, Industrial paint, heavy-duty, anticorrosion paint such as bituminous coatings, epoxy paints, chlorinated rubber paints
- Grease
- Inks
Sealant
Using
Organo Bentonite disperses under high shear and requires a polar activator for best efficiency. Heat is not required to obtain good dispersion. Addition levels are typically in 0.2%~2.0%. Polar activator (95% Ethanol or 95% Methanol) is needed. Normally addition level of polar activator is recommended to be 45%~60% of CP-40 in weight. If in xylene system, addition level of polar activator is about 30%-40% of CP-40 in weight.
Pre-gel is made as below procedure.
- Charge solvent to mill
- Slowly add CP-40 (6-10% by weight of total pre-gel) to mill under agitation.
- Mix at high speed for 5 minutes.
- Add polar activator.
- Mix at high speed for 5 minutes.
