Features
CLAYTONE-40 can be used as a thickener in low- to medium-polarity mineral oils. The product requires an activator to be fully effective. CLAYTONE-40 swells in organic media and builds a gel structure (house of cards effect). Weak hydrogen bonds are the reasons for the thixotropic behavior. For optimum effectiveness, complete separation of the plates (complete dispersion of agglomerates into primary particles) is necessary.
