Organic clay to prevent pigment hard settling

organic clay to prevent pigment hard settling – organoclay for long-term pigment suspension

Organic clay designed to prevent pigment hard settling, offering strong thixotropy, stable gel structure and long-term storage stability for solvent-based paints and inks.

Organic clay to prevent pigment hard settling

Our organic clay formulated to prevent pigment hard settling provides a strong thixotropic network that immobilizes pigments and fillers inside solvent-based coatings, inks and industrial systems. Pigment settling is a major challenge for long-storage and high-density formulations, especially those containing iron oxide, titanium dioxide, carbon black and anticorrosive fillers.

This organoclay stabilizes pigments by creating a three-dimensional gel matrix capable of resisting compaction over time. As a result, coatings maintain uniform viscosity, color strength and application consistency without requiring aggressive re-dispersion or mechanical agitation.

🔹 AIDA

For manufacturers who suffer from pigment hard settling, finding a rheology modifier that truly stabilizes pigment particles is crucial. When they test our organic clay and see how it creates a firm yet workable gel that prevents compaction even during long-term storage, interest grows rapidly.

As they observe cleaner color consistency, fewer production defects and reduced need for re-milling, their desire to adopt this material increases significantly. With consistent quality and technical support for diverse formulations, integrating this organoclay becomes an essential step toward stable, high-performance coating production.

🔹 FAQ – organic clay to prevent pigment hard settling

Q1: Why does pigment hard settling occur?
Because dense pigments compact at the bottom of the container when rheology is insufficient to immobilize them.

Q2: How does organic clay prevent this?
It forms a 3D thixotropic network that suspends pigment particles and slows sedimentation.

Q3: Does it work with heavy pigments like iron oxide?
Yes — highly effective even for high-density compounds.

Q4: Is it suitable for long-term storage paints?
Yes — reduces hard bottom formation significantly.

Q5: Will it thicken the coating too much?
No — thixotropy ensures easy flow during application while maintaining stability at rest.
