1, product description
Viscosefier KP-150 Organophilic clay is an easy -to-disperse, self-activating organoclay that demonstrates high efficiency in diesel, low-aromatic mineral oil, processed vegetable oil, and synthetic low-grade liquid formulations. Oragnophilic bentonite with good thixotropy and high gelling efficiency imparts organo-modification to clays.
The unique rheological structure of the KP-150 rheology modifier inhibits weighting materials and other solids, increasing their viscosity and gel strength compared to standard bentonite. Organophilic clay is highly effective in distillation and mineral oil-based invert fluids.
