Description

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Benzyl(Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl)Dimethyl, Stearates, Salts With Bentonite is a specialized organoclay compound, functioning as a rheological additive and gelling agent. This material is valued for its ability to provide thixotropic properties, enhance suspension, and control viscosity in complex formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, greases, adhesives, and oilfield industries seeking to improve product performance and stability.

Application

• Rheology Modifier in Paints & Coatins: Imparts thixotropic behavior to solvent-based and high-solids coatings, preventing sagging on vertical surfaces and settling of pigments.
• Gelling Agent for Greases & Lubricants: Used to structure and thicken lubricating greases, providing mechanical stability and water resistance.
• Viscosity Control in Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances the body and non-sag properties of mastics, sealants, and adhesive formulations.
• Suspension Aid in Oilfield Drilling Muds: Helps suspend weighting agents (e.g., barite) and other solids in non-aqueous drilling fluids (NADF).
• Stabilizer in Polishes & Waxes: Acts as a suspending agent for abrasives and pigments in liquid and paste formulations.
• Additive for Printing Inks: Controls flow and leveling properties, improving print quality and anti-settling characteristics.

Quality Control

Our organoclay products are manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is tested against key parameters such as gel strength, moisture content, and particle size distribution. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications is 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
