Organic clay for water based paints
organic clay for water based paints – water-dispersible organoclay for aqueous coating systems
Water-dispersible organic clay for water based paints, providing shear-thinning, anti-settling performance and viscosity control for selected aqueous coating formulations.
Our organic clay for water based paints is designed through specialized surface modification to allow dispersion in aqueous systems, providing thixotropy, anti-settling performance and viscosity stabilization in selected waterborne formulations.
While traditional organoclay is optimized for solventborne systems, this water-compatible grade demonstrates excellent swelling behavior when properly dispersed under high shear. It enhances pigment suspension, improves vertical film hold and stabilizes viscosity in architectural paints, primers, inks and construction-grade waterborne coatings requiring strong rheology control.
Many formulators assume organoclay cannot be used in waterborne coatings, but with the correct surface treatment and dispersion method, our water-dispersible grade provides reliable rheology performance. As they experiment with activation techniques and observe strong thixotropy, improved suspension and consistent viscosity curves, interest rises quickly.
When these advantages translate into reduced settling and better film formation in water-based systems, the desire to integrate this specialized organoclay becomes clear. With technical guidance tailored for aqueous systems, formulators can confidently use organoclay in water-based coatings.
