Description

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Benzylbis(Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl)Methyl, Bis(Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl)Dimethylammonium Salt With Hectorite is a high-performance organoclay complex, where a quaternary ammonium compound is ionically bonded to a hectorite clay substrate. This unique structure provides exceptional utility as a rheological modifier and thickening agent in a variety of industrial formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, and lubricants industries to control viscosity, prevent sagging, and enhance the stability of complex systems.

Application

• Rheology Control in Solvent-Based Coatings: Imparts thixotropic properties to paints, varnishes, and industrial coatings to prevent sagging on vertical surfaces and control pigment suspension.
• Gelling Agent for Greases and Lubricants: Acts as an efficient thickener for synthetic and mineral oil-based lubricating greases, providing structural stability and leak resistance.
• Viscosity Modifier in Adhesives and Sealants: Enhances the application properties of mastics, caulks, and adhesives by providing non-sag characteristics and improved body.
• Stabilizer in Drilling Muds: Used in oilfield applications to help control fluid loss and stabilize the rheological profile of drilling fluids.
• Thickener for Printing Inks: Improves the flow and transfer properties of solvent-based inks, ensuring sharp print quality and reduced misting.
• Additive in Polymer Composites: Can be used to modify the processing characteristics and mechanical properties of various polymer systems.

Quality Control

Our organoclay products are manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Key parameters such as gel strength, moisture content, particle size distribution, and ionic exchange capacity are rigorously tested. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
