Organically Modified Bentonite Clay: The Ultimate Rheology Modifier
What is Organically Modified Bentonite Clay?
Organically modified bentonite clay, also known as organoclay, organophilic clay, or organobentonite, is a high-efficiency rheology modifier derived from sodium bentonite powder through advanced modification processes. This versatile material serves multiple functions including thickening, anti-settling, anti-sagging, and viscosity control across various industrial applications.
CAMP-SHINNING's organically modified bentonite is specifically engineered for solvent-based systems, making it particularly suitable for low-polarity, medium-polarity to high-polarity solvents. With over two decades of expertise and a quarter of global market share, we deliver consistent quality and performance.
