H1 Price Range for Industrial-grade Rheology Additive
Quick Answer
For Camp-Shinning industrial organoclay rheology additives, the currently published planning references span US$1.50–3.20 per kilogram. The US$1.50/kg starting point is stated on an official Camp-Shinning page on an FOB Shanghai or Tianjin basis, while another official company page gives a broader US$1.70–3.20/kg organophilic clay reference. This range is not a binding offer or a universal price for every rheology-modifier chemistry. The final quotation depends on the required organoclay grade, formulation system, order quantity, packaging, shipment basis, destination, and support requirements.
H2 What the US$1.50–3.20/kg Reference Range Covers
This page addresses industrial organoclay supplied as a rheological additive. It does not attempt to price every material sold under the wider “rheology modifier” category, which can include mineral, cellulosic, polymeric, wax-based, and other chemistries with very different cost structures.
Camp-Shinning’s official published information provides two useful reference points for organoclay purchasing. One page states a starting price of US$1.50/kg on an FOB Shanghai or Tianjin basis. Another states that organophilic clay prices can range from US$1.70 to US$3.20/kg depending on the manufacturer. Together, they support a practical public planning band of US$1.50–3.20/kg for the industrial organoclay category.
Treat the band as an early budgeting reference. A valid quotation still needs a defined grade, quantity, package, delivery term, and validity period. Taxes, import duties, inland delivery, marine freight, insurance, special documents, and destination charges are not automatically included in a per-kilogram reference.

H2 How to Read the Published Price Range
| Reference point | What it means | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| US$1.50/kg starting point | A published entry point for organoclay on an FOB Shanghai or Tianjin basis | A guaranteed price for every grade, order size, destination, or date |
| US$1.70–3.20/kg broader range | A published per-kilogram reference for organophilic clay | A specification-independent price list or delivered-cost promise |
| Project quotation | A commercial offer based on confirmed grade, quantity, packaging, Incoterm, destination, and timing | A number that can be compared safely without checking its commercial basis |
| Delivered cost | Material price plus the applicable freight, insurance, import, duty, and local handling elements | The same figure as an ex-works or FOB unit price |
The price basis matters as much as the number. Two quotations can show different prices per kilogram but produce a similar landed cost after packaging, palletization, freight, insurance, and destination charges are aligned. Procurement teams should normalize the currency, Incoterm, shipment size, packaging, and quote validity before comparing offers.

H2 Six Variables That Move an Industrial Organoclay Quote
H3 1. Grade and Formulation System
Organoclay grade selection must begin with the formulation rather than the lowest visible unit price. The buyer should identify whether the material will be used in a solvent-based coating, ink, adhesive, sealant, lubricating grease, oilfield fluid, or another approved application. The continuous phase, resin or base oil, polarity, required rheological behavior, and processing route help determine which grade should be evaluated.
This page does not assign a product grade from a price question alone. A grade recommendation should be confirmed through formulation information and sample testing.

H3 2. Order Quantity
Laboratory samples, a 1 MT initial trial order, pallet quantities, and full-container shipments have different commercial economics. Larger planned demand can improve production and freight efficiency, but only after the chosen grade has passed the buyer’s technical evaluation.
Camp-Shinning’s verified standard information lists an initial trial-order MOQ of 1 MT. Recommended container planning is 16 MT with pallets for a 20-foot container and 25 MT with pallets for a 40-foot container. These quantities are planning references and should be reconfirmed in the quotation.
H3 3. Packaging and Palletization
Verified standard packaging options are 25 kg valve bags and 50 lb bags, with jumbo bags available upon request. The selected package affects bag count, pallet configuration, warehouse handling, container utilization, and freight cost. A buyer that requires a specific liner, pallet treatment, private label, or other nonstandard arrangement should disclose it before the quotation is prepared.
H3 4. Incoterm and Port Basis
An FOB reference and a delivered quotation answer different questions. FOB pricing places the commercial boundary at the named port under the agreed Incoterm, while CIF, CFR, DAP, or another requested basis can include different transport and risk elements. The quotation should name both the Incoterm and the location, such as FOB Shanghai or FOB Tianjin, rather than presenting a bare unit price.
H3 5. Destination and Shipping Plan
Country, destination port, shipment size, palletization, route, and requested delivery schedule affect the logistics component. Freight can change independently of the material price, so a quote should state its validity period. Buyers comparing suppliers should separate product cost from estimated logistics wherever possible.
H3 6. Technical and Document Requirements
Camp-Shinning provides product recommendation, formula optimization, technical consultation, remote technical support, sample testing, and TDS, SDS, and COA support. State the documents and technical review needed for the project when requesting a quote. The exact product documents should be confirmed for the selected grade; the availability of support does not mean that every document applies to every grade automatically.
H2 Indicative Material Cost at Common Planning Quantities
The table below multiplies the published US$1.50–3.20/kg reference band by common planning quantities. It is a budgeting calculation, not a quotation.
| Planning quantity | Calculation at US$1.50/kg | Calculation at US$3.20/kg | Indicative material-value range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 MT / 1,000 kg | 1,000 × US$1.50 | 1,000 × US$3.20 | US$1,500–3,200 |
| 16 MT / 16,000 kg | 16,000 × US$1.50 | 16,000 × US$3.20 | US$24,000–51,200 |
| 25 MT / 25,000 kg | 25,000 × US$1.50 | 25,000 × US$3.20 | US$37,500–80,000 |
These figures exclude any cost not expressly included in the quoted price basis. They should not be used to issue a purchase order, calculate landed cost, or assume that a specific industrial grade will fall at either endpoint. The selected grade may require a project-specific price outside a simple public reference.

H2 Why Cost-in-use Is More Useful Than Price per Kilogram
Price per kilogram is only the acquisition price. Cost-in-use asks whether the selected material is technically appropriate, can be dispersed with the available process, produces the required rheological behavior, and can be supplied consistently under the buyer’s production conditions.
A lower-priced material can be the wrong economic choice if it is mismatched to the formulation, requires unplanned processing changes, or fails the buyer’s validation. A higher unit price also does not prove better value. The only responsible comparison is between technically suitable candidates tested under the same formulation, process, and acceptance criteria.
Evaluate the following before making a price decision:
- Confirm the product family and grade are appropriate for the actual system.
- Compare samples using the same formula, batch size, equipment, addition order, and test method.
- Record the verified addition level established by the buyer’s test rather than assuming a universal dosage.
- Include processing time, handling, packaging, yield, and quality-control requirements.
- Compare quotations on the same quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, and validity date.
- Confirm document support, batch traceability, lead time, and supply plan before approval.

H2 Build a Quote Request That Can Be Priced Accurately
| Information field | What to send | Why it is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Coating, ink, adhesive, sealant, grease, drilling fluid, or another intended use | Establishes the application context |
| Formulation system | Main solvent, resin, base oil, carrier, polarity information, and non-confidential composition framework | Supports grade screening |
| Required function | Viscosity build, thixotropy, anti-settling, sag control, suspension, or another defined target | Clarifies the rheological objective |
| Current issue | Settling, sagging, insufficient structure, difficult dispersion, inconsistent viscosity, or another observed problem | Directs technical review |
| Evaluation plan | Sample quantity, test method, acceptance criteria, and target schedule | Separates laboratory validation from commercial ordering |
| Order quantity | Trial order, expected shipment size, and annual forecast | Establishes the commercial volume basis |
| Packaging | 25 kg valve bag, 50 lb bag, jumbo bag request, pallet needs, and label requirements | Defines packing and loading assumptions |
| Delivery basis | Destination city or port and requested Incoterm | Defines which logistics elements enter the quote |
| Documents | Required TDS, SDS, COA, and buyer-specific checklist | Confirms the review package |
| Timing | Desired order date and delivery window | Allows lead-time and quote-validity confirmation |
The most accurate request is short but specific. Avoid asking only for “the best industrial rheology additive price.” That wording does not identify the grade, application, order basis, or destination needed to create a comparable quotation.
If grade selection is still open, the organophilic clay drilling grade page shows why application-specific grade categories should be evaluated separately: https://www.organicbentoniteclay.com/product-grades/organophilic-clay-drilling-grade/

H2 Frequently Asked Questions
H3 What is the price range for an industrial-grade organoclay rheology additive?
Camp-Shinning’s published organoclay references support a planning range of US$1.50–3.20/kg. The lower endpoint is published as a starting price on an FOB Shanghai or Tianjin basis. A selected grade and current written quotation are required before ordering.
H3 Is US$1.50/kg a guaranteed price?
No. It is a published starting reference, not a guaranteed price for every grade or order. Quantity, packaging, Incoterm, destination, timing, and the selected product can change the commercial offer.
H3 Does the reference range include freight and import costs?
Not automatically. The US$1.50/kg starting point is stated on an FOB Shanghai or Tianjin basis. Freight, insurance, duty, taxes, destination handling, and inland transport depend on the quotation and delivery term.
H3 Why can two industrial rheology additive quotes differ so much?
The products may use different chemistries, serve different formulation systems, or be quoted at different quantities and delivery terms. Normalize grade scope, package, currency, Incoterm, destination, and quote date before comparing prices.
H3 What is the minimum order quantity?
Camp-Shinning’s verified initial trial-order MOQ is 1 MT. This is separate from a laboratory sample, which is available free for formulation evaluation.
H3 Can I request a price before the grade is confirmed?
You can request a planning estimate, but a purchase-ready quotation should identify the proposed grade. Share the application, continuous phase, required rheological function, current issue, and test plan so the technical team can recommend an evaluation direction.
H3 How long is the normal lead time?
The verified normal production lead time is 7–10 working days after order confirmation. Transit time is separate. Reconfirm the schedule for the selected grade, quantity, packaging, and shipment date.
H3 Which details should be included in an RFQ?
Include the application, formulation system, required function, order quantity, annual forecast, packaging, destination, requested Incoterm, documents, and timing. If the grade is not confirmed, also provide enough non-confidential formulation information to support sample selection.
H2 Request a Grade-specific Price
Use the US$1.50–3.20/kg range to set an initial material budget, then request a written quotation for the actual project. Send the intended application, formulation system, target function, required quantity, packaging, destination port or city, Incoterm, document list, and delivery window.
Camp-Shinning can review the application, recommend a product direction, arrange a free sample, and quote the confirmed commercial basis. Do not place an order from a public reference alone; verify the grade through testing and ensure the quotation names the product, quantity, package, trade term, destination, price validity, and lead time.
