BENTONE‑34 Equivalent Organophilic Bentonite (CAS 68953‑58‑2) is surface‑modified organoclay designed to match the performance of BENTONE‑34, suitable for low‑to‑medium polarity solvent‑borne alkyd anti‑corrosion coatings and printing inks. This grade requires proper polar activator together with high‑shear dispersion to achieve sufficient platelet exfoliation. It forms reversible three‑dimensional thixotropic gel network within alkyd resin‑solvent systems. The network restrains sedimentation of
BENTONE‑34 Equivalent Organophilic Bentonite, CAS 68953‑58‑2, is manufactured from purified montmorillonite clay modified by organic quaternary ammonium salt. It is formulated as a direct performance alternative to BENTONE‑34, specially optimized for low‑to‑medium polarity solvent‑based alkyd anti‑corrosion coatings and printing ink systems. Unlike self‑activating bentonite grades, this product needs matched polar activator plus high‑shear mixing for complete exfoliation of clay platelets. After adequate dispersion, exfoliated clay sheets construct a reversible three‑dimensional colloidal thixotropic network. At static storage condition, the network effectively suspends dense anti‑corrosion pigments and mineral fillers, avoiding hard compact sediment cake inside paint and ink containers. When subjected to shear during spraying, brushing or ink printing, the network breaks down, lowering system viscosity to deliver desirable flow and leveling. Once mechanical shear disappears, the thixotropic structure rebuilds quickly to suppress sagging on vertical metal substrates. It maintains stable gloss of cured alkyd paint film and offers consistent batch‑to‑batch quality for mass‑production of protective paints and solvent‑based printing inks.
‑ High‑performance organoclay equivalent to BENTONE‑34 for low‑to‑medium polarity solvent‑based systems ‑ Requires suitable polar activator and high‑shear dispersion for optimal exfoliation and rheology development ‑ Excellent anti‑settling capability for heavy anti‑corrosion pigments and mineral extenders during long‑term storage ‑ Effective anti‑sag property for vertical metal surfaces, enabling moderate thick‑film build‑up for alkyd anti‑corrosion coatings ‑ Distinct shear‑thinning thixotropy, balancing suspension stability and wet‑film leveling performance ‑ Good compatibility with different alkyd resins, minor negative influence on final film gloss and hardness ‑ Fine free‑flowing off‑white powder, convenient for feeding in paint and ink production lines ‑ Stable rheological performance for continuous manufacturing of industrial protective paints and printing inks
