Organophilic Clay Thixotropic Agent: Rapid Viscosity Recovery in Graphic Inks

Organophilic Clay Thixotropic Agent : Organic bentonite clay, which locks in moisture, is therefore used in sealants for construction to prevent the sealant from scraping.

Because organic bentonite is mainly used in paints, coatings, especially water-based paints and coatings and solvent-based paints and coatings, in some lubricating grease ink sealant, cosmetics and other products have a wide range of uses, the largest amount of application is in the oilfield drilling industry and some fracturing fluids, which is used as a suspending agent and thixotropic agent to use.

There are three steps we can take to get a better service life out of a sealant, firstly substrate pre-treatment. Avoid adding bentonite dry powder directly. Because if the dry powder is added directly will be easy to form bentonite agglomeration, affecting the dispersion. If the humidity is greater than 85%, it is recommended to use with dehumidifier. When choosing bentonite chart, you can look at the expansion capacity of bentonite clay, the expansion rate of high quality products in propylene glycol is >15ml/g.

All of our organo clay bentonite is tested by Shanghai Research Institute of Chemical Industry and got the safe transportation identification report.
