Organophilic Clay Premium Rheology Modifiers
High-efficiency organoclay rheology modifiers engineered for superior thickening, thixotropic properties, and anti-sagging performance across solvent-based and water-based systems.
What is Organophilic Clay?
Organophilic clay, also known as organoclay or modified montmorillonite, is a high-efficiency rheology modifier created by modifying sodium bentonite powder through advanced chemical processes. This versatile material serves as a rheological additive, thixotropic agent, viscosity control agent, and anti-settling agent across multiple industries.

Usage Guidelines & Best Practices
Proper incorporation techniques and activation methods are crucial for achieving optimal rheological performance from organophilic clay systems.
General Application Process
Pre-heating (Optional)
Heat base oil or solvent to 60-70°C if conditions permit for enhanced dispersion efficiency.
Organoclay Addition
Add organoclay while stirring at 7-10% of total formulation. Stir for 5-10 minutes to ensure uniform distribution.
Polar Activator
Add polar activator (acetone/water 95/5) at 2-3% of total formulation. Continue stirring for 25-30 minutes.
High Shear Processing
Use pump circulation through colloid mill and homogenizer for optimal dispersion and gel development.
Final Processing
Deair, filtrate, and package. Extended mixing time improves gel performance.
