Add Gelling Agent
Gradually add organoclay while stirring continuously for 5-10 minutes.
High Shear Mixing
Apply high shear mixing to achieve complete dispersion and activation.
Quality Check
Verify proper gelation and rheological properties before use.
Grease Applications
Polar Activator Required
Acetone/water (95/5) at 20-30% of organoclay weight
