Description
Organoclay is a kind of inorganic mineral/organic ammonium complex, which is made by using bentonite as raw material, utilizing the lamellar structure of montmorillonite in bentonite and its characteristics of swelling and dispersing into colloidal clay particles in water or organic solvent, and inserting organic covering agent through ion exchange technology. Organic bentonite can form gel in various organic solvents, oils and liquid resins. It has good thickening, thixotropy, suspension stability, high temperature stability, lubricity, film-forming, water resistance and chemical stability, and has important application value in the coating industry. It is also widely used in industries such as paint and ink, aviation, metallurgy, chemical fiber, and petroleum.
