Thixotropic Additive | Organic Bentonite Clay

Thixotropic additive
Thixotropic fluid BENTONITE is a substance added to a formula to impart thixotropic properties to the entire system, and its biggest characteristic is its thixotropy.

The material exhibits a decrease in viscosity under shear stress and stops to restore its original viscosity. This means that the modified material becomes thinner when stirred or poured, but becomes thicker again when not disturbed.

Organic bentonite Thixotropic clay is one of the most common tablet extractors. It is modified by montmorillonite to become an organic bentonite.

This powdered bentonite is dispersed under shear and rebuilt at rest with natural and synthetic clay. When surfactant modified organic bentonite is used for oil drilling, it is compatible with organic liquids and oily systems.

It can form a network structure and provide thixotropic properties. It can be used in oils, lubricants, paints, and adhesives.

This type of additive has good resistance to sagging and has been thicker in recent years, which can prevent excessive flow, dripping, and flowing after application until the material solidifies or dries.

It can improve suspension ability and also improve its leveling performance. As the material shrinks under shear, it will obtain a smooth and uniform surface with fewer brush marks .

In addition to being used in paint coatings and adhesives, thixotropic agents can also be used in lubricating esters and greases.

At the same time, thixotropic agents are also widely used in some cosmetics such as lotion, face cream and cosmetics. Of course, thixotropic agents are also needed in oilfield drilling fluids.

When it was for oilfield drilling, it helped to control the missing during the cementing process from offshore platforms or any other location where solid additives could not be processed.

Its application scope includes.
Plugging and cementing
Temperatures up to 185 degF [85 degC]
Offshore and Onshore Oil Wells
Cement Filling Operations as per RFC*

Advantages.
Control fluid loss.
Excellent thixotropic performance.
Good suspension performance.

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.
