Lubricant Additives Organoclay Bentonite
If you are looking for an effective additive for your lubricant grease formula and are eager to improve the thixotropy and rheological properties of your formula, then the organo bentonite produced by Camp Shinning will undoubtedly be your best choice, because when the organoclay bentonite is applied to the grease, its thixotropy is extremely obvious, and the rheological property is also an indispensable performance goal of the grease lubricant formula.
As a thickener, when organic clay is applied to lubricating grease as an additive, it has excellent stability under high temperature and pressure. Therefore, when your formula is at 180 ℃, the organic bentonite produced for Camp Shinning can still show excellent stability under high temperature and pressure.
At the same time, when organic bentonite is used in lubricating grease, its water resistance is also needed by many of our users. So we believe that we have experienced a lot of experiments and production practices to prove that its water resistance is also much better than that of the products of the same industry.
When you ask us for information about organic bentonite as a lubricating grease additive, we will also provide you with msds, which provides more details about its safety and performance. When you purchase our bentonite, we require that it be kept in a well ventilated and dry place, free from moisture.
At present, Camp Shinning has a wide range of new types of organoclay bentonite | Organophilic clay. The main types of lubricating grease used are CP-250 a CP- 40 cp n pz. They are all modified organoclay bentonite. They are suitable for the lubricating grease of mineral oil or synthetic oil, and also suitable for the lubricating of diesel engine systems. When you test them, you will find it obvious. Our bentonite will show very high gel efficiency and good thixotropy.
When you use our model CP-40 for lubricating grease, it is more compatible with the formula of the diesel engine system. If you can use the polar activator., similar to propylene carbonate or methanol or ethanol, it will have a more obvious dispersion effect. Therefore, we generally recommend that customers add polar activators when using cp40.
If you have special requirements for high temperature and high pressure of your formula, we suggest you use our cp250 or c pmp z. Well, it has been widely used in the production of lubricating esters due to the market.
In terms of the addition amount, our organic bentonite is generally used in the grease system at a specific amount between 0.2% and 4%, which is generally based on your experimental results.
Key Points for Using Organoclay Bentonite.
Currently, there are three main types of organoclay bentonite recommended by Camp Shinning New Material Co. Ltd. for use in lubricants grease, namely CP-34, CP-992, and CP-MPZ.
1), How to choose these different models?
The biggest difference lies in the base oil used in their lubricants grease. If the base oil is diesel, we recommend you use our CP-34. If the base oil is mineral oil or synthetic oil, we recommend you use our CP-992 or CP-MPZ.
2), When selecting the above organophilic bentonite clay models to apply to lubricants grease, we recommend that you use a polarity activator. The most ideal polarity activator is propylene carbonate, which is a relatively stable activator. Of course, methanol, ethanol, and even water can be used as activators, and propylene carbonate is our first recommended activator.
3), At the same time, no matter you choose any of these models to apply to the lubricant system, we recommend that you make pre-gelling, because this can make the dispersion effect of the entire formula better.
4), Some people choose not to do pre-gelation, so they can be added to the formulas of different products in sequence.
From our production experience, we recommend that you do pre-gelling.
5), Generally when making activator, add 10~15% organic bentonite to the base oil, and then add the activator. The amount of activator is generally 10%~40% of the amount of organoclay bentonite. Regarding the amount of activator added, we recommend that you obtain it through experimentation.
6), After you finish pre-gelling, the longer you leave it, the better the quality of the organic bentonite will be.
