Organoclays are the complex of montmorilonite / quaternary ammonium salt produced from the raw bentonite, which has layered structure.

They functions as rheology modifier. They are very easy to disperse and can form gel in various organic solvents, oil, and liquid resin.

Organoclays can be widely applied in various systems to increase viscosity, provide thixotropy, prevent pigment settling during storage, improve flowing and leveling, improve high temperature stability, and lubricating property.

They are so widely used in:
– paints
– printing inks
– adhesive
– sealants
– foundry coatings
– lubricating greases
– cosmetics
– oil-based well drilling slurry
