Organic Bentonite High-Efficiency Rheology Modifier
Modified from premium sodium bentonite powder, our organic bentonite delivers exceptional thickening ability, high thixotropy, superior suspension properties, and anti-pigment sagging performance across diverse industrial applications.
What is Organic Bentonite?
Organic bentonite, also known as organoclay or organophilic clay, is a high-efficiency rheology modifier created through chemical modification of sodium bentonite. This transformation creates a versatile additive that functions as a thixotropic agent, viscosity control agent, and anti-settling agent.
Our organic bentonite is specifically designed for solvent-based systems, offering exceptional performance in low-polarity, medium-polarity, and high-polarity solvents across multiple industries.

Usage Instructions & Guidelines
Proper handling and application procedures ensure optimal performance and consistent results across all organic bentonite applications.
General Application Guidelines
Dosage Recommendations
Typical addition levels range from 0.5% to 3% by weight, depending on the application and desired rheological properties.
Dispersion Process
Add organic bentonite slowly while stirring to ensure proper dispersion. High-speed mixing equipment is recommended for optimal results.
Polar Activator
For certain applications, polar activators (acetone/water 95/5) may be required at 20-30% of organoclay weight to achieve optimal performance.
Temperature Considerations
Heating the base system to 60-70°C can improve dispersion efficiency and reduce mixing time.
Grease Application Procedure
Step 1: Base Oil Preparation
Heat base oil to 60-70°C if conditions permit for improved dispersion.
Step 2: Organoclay Addition
Add 7-10% organoclay by total formulation weight while stirring. Continue mixing for 5-10 minutes.
Step 3: Polar Activator
Add polar activator (2-3% by total formulation). Add other additives and stir for 25-30 minutes.
Step 4: Final Processing
Use pump assistance through colloid mill and homogenizer. Deair, filtrate, and pack.
