Additive of Thickener Grade (ZEO14)
benton or organoclay rheological additives (ZEO14) are based on organic
modified clay minerals. These materials can improve the flow properties of liquids, prevent the
settling of pigments and fillers, and be compatible with a wide range of formulations in the
industry.
Organo-clay additive (ZEO14) is commonly used in paints, coatings and inks as
well as in the drilling industry in combination with high water absorption sodium bentonite.
Role of Organoclay (Benton) in Various Industries (ZEO14)
Organoclay or Benton is a substance that produce by processing of natural mineral. Due to its unique properties such as high water absorption, swelling, viscosity, and ion exchange capacity, it has a wide range of applications in various industries, including paints, oil drilling, and greases.
Role of Organoclay in the Paint Industry including
- Thickener: Organoclay, by absorbing water and swelling, increases the viscosity of the paint and gives it a suitable consistency and thickness.
- Adhesion Enhancement: Organoclay increases the adhesion of the paint to the underlying surface by creating a bond between the paint and the surface.
Role of Organoclay in the Oil Drilling including
- Viscosity Control: Organoclay helps to maintain the stability of the well by controlling the viscosity of the drilling mud and preventing the collapse of the wellbore.
- Friction Reduction: Organoclay reduces friction between the drill bit and the wellbore, increasing drilling speed and reducing drill bit wear.
- Sealing: Organoclay creates a sealing layer on the wellbore, preventing the penetration of fluids into the formation.
