Organoclay Polar Activator | Organoclay Activator In Paints Grease oil drilling mud
The organoclay polar activator can better promote the effect of organoclay in use, so that its dispersibility, thixotropy, thickening, and suspension can achieve the best effect.
The organoclay polar activator can better promote the effect of organoclay in use, so that its dispersibility, thixotropy, thickening, and suspension can achieve the best effect.
Adding organoclay Polar Activator to organic bentonite clay is mainly to ensure the full play and display of rheological properties.
Especially when you use the Polar Activator in mud, it can better disperse the entire formula, so that some thixotropy, performance, rheological, anti-settling performance, and suspension performance can be comprehensively presented.
According to different application fields, we will also recommend different polar activators. For example, in oil mud drilling fluid, we recommend propylene carbonate and ethanol as polar activators, which is an ideal promotion.
Organoclay Polar Activator
Suggested polar activators are:
Organoclay Polar Activator
% weight based on
Organoclay CP-150 / CP-982
Methanol/water (95/5%)
35
Ethanol/water (95/5%)
52
Propylene Carbonate/water
(95/5%)
30
Acetone
61
Remarks :Glycol ether is another activator we recommend.
OrganoClay is a modified clay mineral designed for use as a Thixotropic Agent and suspension agent media in the process. When used alone, The formulation needs to add some organoclay activator.
Organoclay Polar activator | Organophilic bentonite, generally, dispersing and gelling are supported by the polar activator. The polar activator can form a hydrogen bridge bond between organoclays platelets, thereby increasing cross-linking and viscosity.
Dispersion and activation of organoclay:
Organoclay activator
Organoclay Polar Activator
Important note:
Suitable dosage of the activator is very important to the dispersion of organoclays and stability
system. Too much polar activator will reduce swelling once again and viscosity would drop down again. See the following chart 1
Polar activator should be added only after the addition of organoclays, and organoclays has been fully wetted and dispersed
For poor wetting resin systems(epoxy, polyester, short-oil alkyd, acrylic resin, etc.) organoclay should be used in combination with a surfactant
Typical viscosity curve of a system with organoclay. See the following chart 2

Incorportions: Organoclay CP-982, CP-150 belong to the conventional type of organoclay group, which requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a goods dispersion equipment, and an ORGANOCLAY polar activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organoclay platelet stacks.
Polar Activator: The dosage of organoclay polar activator ( such as propylene carbonate, 95% ethanol, acetone, or 95% methanol) is 30%-50% by weight of ours organoclay.
