Thickening Agents Organic Bentonite Clay Solutions
Premium organic bentonite thickening agents designed for superior rheological control across coatings, inks, greases, adhesives, and drilling fluids. Engineered for consistent performance and reliability.
What Are Thickening Agents? Understanding Organic Bentonite Clay
Thickening agents are rheology modifiers that control the flow and consistency of liquid formulations. Our organic bentonite clay is a high-efficiency organoclay rheology modifier, modified from sodium bentonite powder, providing exceptional thickening ability, thixotropy, and suspension properties.
Key Properties & Benefits
Excellent Thickening Ability
High gel efficiency provides superior viscosity control with minimal dosage requirements, optimizing formulation costs.
Thixotropic Properties
Provides shear-thinning behavior for easy application while maintaining structure at rest, preventing sagging and settling.
Superior Suspension
Excellent anti-settling properties keep pigments and particles uniformly distributed throughout the formulation.
Temperature Stability
Maintains performance under extreme conditions, stable up to 230°C and high pressure environments.

Usage Guidelines Optimal Performance Procedures
Proper incorporation techniques ensure maximum performance from our thickening agents. Follow these guidelines for optimal results in your formulations.
General Application Process
Pre-heating (Optional)
If conditions permit, heat the base oil or solvent to 60-70°C to improve dispersion efficiency.
Add Organoclay
Add organoclay while stirring at moderate speed. Typical dosage: 1-3% for coatings, 7-10% for greases.
Initial Mixing
Stir for 5-10 minutes at medium shear to ensure uniform distribution throughout the system.
Add Polar Activator
For grease applications, add acetone/water (95/5) at 20-30% of organoclay weight to enhance gel formation.
High Shear Processing
Use high-speed disperser or grinding machine for 25-30 minutes to achieve optimal gel development.
Grease Formulations
- Dosage: 7-10% of total formulation weight
- Polar activator required: 2-3% acetone/water solution
- Extended mixing time: 25-30 minutes for complete gel development
Coating Systems
- Dosage: 1-3% depending on desired viscosity
- No polar activator needed for most solvent systems
- Moderate shear mixing sufficient for activation
Drilling Fluids
- Easy dispersion with minimal shear requirements
- Compatible with all mineral and synthetic base oils
- Maintains stability under extreme P&T conditions
