Amine Treated Bentonite Solutions
Premium organophilic clay modified with quaternary ammonium compounds. Superior rheological properties for demanding industrial applications across multiple solvent systems.
What is Amine Treated Bentonite?
Amine treated bentonite is an organophilic clay produced by modifying sodium montmorillonite with quaternary ammonium compounds. This surface treatment transforms hydrophilic clay into an organophilic material that readily disperses in organic solvents and polymer systems.
The amine treatment creates a clay structure that provides exceptional rheological control, thixotropic behavior, and suspension properties in low to high polarity organic systems.
