Organophilic clay chemistry

Many users who purchase organophilic clay chemistry, whether they apply organophilic clay to paint or coating fields or oil field drilling, often ask how to use organo clay bentonite.As a professional producer and manufacturer & supplier of organophilic clay, we have accumulated a lot of experience in the past 20 years of export, especially in the application and use of organo bentonite , which can greatly help our customers save time and explore this process.

At present, no matter which field has the foundation, our most common use methods are mainly divided into two types: one is to use the pre gel, and the other is to add dry powder directly.

Now we will give a detailed description of the above mentioned methods of adding dry powder directly or doing operation teaching.

Whether it is the organophilic clay chemistry produced by wet method or the organo clays bentonite produced by dry method, the general use methods are the two use methods we mentioned just now, that is, the dry powder is directly added or used as a pre gel.

When using the method of using pre gel of organoclay, In the poor and weak resin system of Humidity., if you use the specialty organophilic clay product of CP series, the dispersion and mutation of the organophilic clays chemistry will be better. However, you must make the organophilic clay type of CP series into a pre gel before using it.

一），Now let’s explain the preparation process of gel in detail.
1）， First, mix 84~87% of the volume or mixed solvent together.
2），Stir 8%~10% of cp series organophilic clay chemistry at high speed for about 5~10 minutes.
3），We suggest that you use polar additives, that is, activators for high–peed stirring for 5~10 minutes, which is about 3~5% of the whole formula.

二），How to use the dry powder directly | organophilic clay chemistry.
For systems with good dispersivity, we suggest you directly add our organophilic clay chemistry dry powder, which is very convenient. Of course, if you add polar activators, such as methanol, propylene carbonate, etc., they are very recommended.
We suggest that you ：
1），first mix the solvent system,
2），then directly add the organo bentonite clay powder into the mixture. They stir at a high speed within 10–5 minutes.
3）, add polar activators, such as propylene carbonate or ethanol, so that they can stir for 5–0 minutes at a high speed.
4），Finally, add pigments, and then stir at a high speed again, so that they have a better mixture.

Remark We specially remind you to be willing when using organophilic clay chemistry. The organic bentonite clay of cp series is fully and completely dispersed during mixing.

Here we would like to emphasize the main reasons that affect the combination of organophilic clays chemistry dispersion.
A，Organo clays bentonite and solvent have a certain scope of adaptation. Therefore, when you use organic bentonite, or when you select the corresponding organic bentonite model, the first thing to consider is to select the corresponding organic bentonite model according to the financing polarity or solubility parameter of your formula.
B，The use of polar additives must be appropriate.Because polar activator can promote the dispersion of organophilic clays in the whole formula.In order to ensure the hydrogen bond strength of CP series organobentonites, because excessive or insufficient will affect their fluidity, we generally use 2.5 ~ 3.5% of the total amount of gel, that is, 30 ~ 50% of organobentonites.
C，Proper shearing force, shearing action and time will affect the dispersion performance of organic modified bentonite to a certain extent. The recommended shear rate is 1.2~1.7 meters per second, and the time is 10~20 minutes.
D，Try to avoid the interference of other chemicals on the dispersion ofrheology modifiers bentonite.
E，The addition amount of organo clay bentonite is generally recommended to be 0.2~2.0%. As for your formula, we hope you can determine your specific use amount through experiments.
F，The shelf life of CP series organophilic clay chemistry is two years, but its best service life is one year, and it is not affected by moisture. It should not be placed in an environment above 60 ℃.

When using organophilic clay chemistry in your formula, we recommend the following activators.
1) Methanol.
2) Propylene carbonate.
3) Ethanol
