Struggling to find the right rheology modifier for your oil-based products? Organoclay might be your solution.
Organoclay are chemically modified bentonite additives used in paints, coatings, inks, grease, oilfield drilling fluids, and cosmetics (like nail polish and lotions) to improve texture and stability. They work in both oil-based and water-based systems, such as latex paints.
When choosing additives, knowing the right product is just half the battle. Let's dig deeper.
Why Should You Choose Organoclay Over Other Additives?
Many manufacturers struggle with product inefficiency or instability—organoclay offers better control.
Organoclay provide superior suspension, anti-sagging, and thixotropic properties compared to untreated bentonite or synthetic thickeners. They prevent settling in paints and improve lubricity in drilling fluids.
Key Benefits in Different Industries
| Industry | Key Advantages |
|---|---|
| Paints & Coatings | Prevents pigment settling, enhances brushability |
| Oilfield Fluids | Improves viscosity, reduces fluid loss |
| Greases | Boosts thermal stability |
| Cosmetics | Smooth texture, prevents separation |
Many suppliers focus only on paints, but Camp Shinning specializes in oilfield drilling applications. We tailor solutions for different needs.
Common Misconceptions
- "All organoclays perform similarly." Wrong—formulations differ based on application.
- "They're hard to disperse." Proper activation techniques solve this.
Camp Shinning helps clients avoid these mistakes with hands-on guidance.
