Water‑Dispersible Organoclay BENTONE‑EW Equivalent (CAS 68953‑58‑2) is specially surface‑modified organophilic bentonite powder designed as direct alternative to BENTONE‑EW, targeted for waterborne ink and water‑based adhesive systems. Under moderate high‑shear dispersion inside aqueous phase, silicate platelets exfoliate to form a reversible three‑dimensional thixotropic gel network. During static storage, this network effectively suspends color pigments and mineral fillers and prevents hard se
Water‑Dispersible Organoclay BENTONE‑EW Equivalent, CAS 68953‑58‑2, is produced from purified natural montmorillonite through specialized organic surface modification, serving as premium replacement for BENTONE‑EW water‑dispersible organoclay. This rheology‑modifying powder is optimized for water‑based printing ink and industrial waterborne adhesive formulations. Different from traditional solvent‑type organo bentonite, this grade possesses good water‑dispersing capability. Target platelet exfoliation can be achieved via moderate high‑shear dispersion in aqueous media, and additional polar activator is not required. Exfoliated silicate platelets construct a reversible three‑dimensional colloidal thixotropic network within aqueous resin‑emulsion matrix. At static storage state, the network stabilizes dispersion of organic color pigments, carbon black and mineral fillers, and inhibits generation of hard compact sediment. Under high‑speed printing, stirring or roller coating shear, the colloidal network is disrupted, lowering system viscosity to guarantee smooth ink transfer and adhesive spreading on substrates. Once external mechanical shear disappears, thixotropic network rebuilds quickly, restraining ink bleeding and adhesive sagging. The product exhibits good compatibility with acrylic emulsions, polyurethane dispersions and other water‑borne binders, with limited adverse effect on ink gloss, drying speed and final adhesive bonding strength. Consistent batch‑to‑batch quality supports continuous mass‑production of water‑based printing inks and industrial waterborne adhesives.
‑ Water‑dispersible organophilic bentonite, functional equivalent to BENTONE‑EW for waterborne ink and adhesive ‑ No extra polar activator needed; moderate high‑shear dispersion realizes sufficient silicate‑platelet exfoliation in aqueous system ‑ Excellent anti‑settling performance for organic pigments, carbon black and mineral fillers during long‑term storage of ink and adhesive ‑ Effective anti‑sag and anti‑bleeding property after printing or adhesive coating onto substrates ‑ Distinct shear‑thinning thixotropy, balancing static suspension stability and dynamic flow‑transfer performance during processing ‑ Broad compatibility with various water‑borne emulsions, dispersions and standard formulation auxiliaries, minor influence on gloss, drying and bonding performance ‑ Fine free‑flowing light off‑white powder, easy feeding for ink and adhesive production workshops ‑ Stable rheological consistency for large‑scale manufacturing of water‑based printing inks and industrial waterborne adhesives
