Description

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Bis(Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl)Dimethyl, Salts With Montmorillonite is a high-performance organoclay, where quaternary ammonium cations are ion-exchanged onto a montmorillonite clay substrate. This material matters for its exceptional ability to modify the rheology and stability of various polymer systems and coatings. It is primarily needed by formulators in the plastics, paints, adhesives, and sealants industries seeking enhanced mechanical properties and processing characteristics.

Application

• Polymer Nanocomposites: Acts as a nanofiller and compatibilizer in polyolefins (e.g., PP, PE), epoxy resins, and polyamides to improve mechanical strength, thermal stability, and barrier properties.
• Rheology Modification: Used as a thixotrope and anti-settling agent in solvent-based and high-solids coatings, greases, and adhesives to control viscosity and prevent sagging.
• Reinforcing Filler: Enhances the modulus, tensile strength, and dimensional stability of rubber compounds and thermoplastic elastomers.
• Barrier Films: Incorporated into packaging films to improve resistance to gases (O2, CO2) and moisture vapor, extending product shelf life.
• Flame Retardant Synergist: Used in conjunction with conventional flame retardants to enhance char formation and reduce flammability in polymers.
• Drilling Fluids: Serves as a viscosifier and fluid loss control additive in oil-based drilling muds for the petroleum industry.

Quality Control

Our organoclay products are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance in key parameters such as organic content, moisture level, particle size distribution, and rheological efficiency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
