Organoclays

Organoclays are specialized clay minerals that have been modified with organic compounds, making them more compatible with organic materials like oils, paints, and plastics. This modification enhances their ability to absorb or disperse these substances, improving properties such as chemical stability, barrier performance, or oil absorption. Organoclays are commonly used as additives in various industries, including environmental cleanup, construction, and manufacturing, to improve product performance or contain contaminants effectively. They combine the natural strength of clay minerals with tailored organic features, providing versatile solutions in advanced material applications.
