Description

Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Benzyl(Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl)Dimethyl, Chlorides, Compds. With Hectorite is a specialized organoclay complex where a quaternary ammonium salt is modified with hectorite clay. This product is engineered to deliver enhanced rheological control and stability in demanding formulations. It is a critical additive for industries requiring superior thickening, suspension, and thixotropic properties in organic systems. Key users include manufacturers of paints, coatings, greases, and polymer composites.

Application

• As a rheological modifier and thickener in solvent-based paints, coatings, and inks.
• For providing suspension and anti-settling properties in lubricating greases and sealants.
• As a thixotropic agent in unsaturated polyester resins and gel coats for composites.
• In the formulation of organoclay-based nanocomposites to enhance mechanical and barrier properties.
• For viscosity control and sag resistance in construction adhesives and mastics.
• As a gellant and stabilizer in cosmetic and personal care products like antiperspirants.
• In oil-based drilling fluids as a viscosifier and filtration control agent.

Quality Control

Our Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, Benzyl(Hydrogenated Tallow Alkyl)Dimethyl, Chlorides, Compds. With Hectorite is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Production adheres to consistent batch-to-batch specifications to ensure reliable performance in your applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as moisture content, particle size, and rheological performance 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, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
