Hermano supplies organophilic bentonite (organoclay) as a rheology additive for solvent-based paint and coating formulations.
Contact us to discuss suitable grade selection based on your resin system, solvent blend, and performance requirements.
Organophilic bentonite, also known as organoclay, is organically modified bentonite used as a rheology additive in suitable solvent-based paint and coating systems.
Grade selection should take into account the resin system, solvent composition, processing conditions and target performance.
Hermano can provide relevant technical information and discuss an evaluation sample for suitable projects.
Organophilic bentonite is produced by modifying bentonite so that it can function in suitable organic and solvent-based systems. In coating formulations, it is used as a rheology additive to adjust flow behavior and support pigment or filler suspension.
This page provides an overview of the organophilic bentonite product family for solvent-based paints and coatings. It is not a technical specification for one fixed grade. The suitable grade should be selected according to the complete coating system and confirmed through laboratory evaluation.
Organophilic bentonite can be used to adjust viscosity and thixotropic flow in suitable solvent-based coating systems. The required response depends on the selected grade, additive level and processing method.
The additive can help support pigment and filler suspension within a coating formulation. Results should be checked with the actual pigments, fillers and resin system used in production.
Organoclays are used to help control settling and sagging in suitable formulations. Performance should be verified under the intended application, film thickness and storage conditions.
Rheology response can vary with the organoclay grade, resin type, solvent composition, polarity, processing conditions and activation method. Evaluation in the complete formulation is required before production use.
In coating applications, the terms organophilic bentonite and organoclay are commonly used for organically modified bentonite. The exact product properties depend on the base clay, surface treatment and manufacturing process.
Important: this page covers organophilic bentonite for suitable solvent-based paint and coating systems. It is not the same as the inorganic bentonite grade used for water-based coatings.
| Information to share | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Coating application | Clarifies the intended use and performance requirements. |
| Resin system | Helps assess compatibility and rheology response. |
| Main solvents | Supports grade selection for the solvent composition. |
| Processing conditions | Helps review dispersion and activation requirements. |
| Current rheology additive | Provides a benchmark for comparison and adjustment. |
| Target issue | Shows whether the focus is viscosity, pigment settling, sagging or another property. |
You do not need to prepare a full technical specification before contacting us. Start with the coating system, main solvents and the problem you want to solve.
This page provides an overview of the product family, not a technical specification for a single organophilic bentonite grade. TDS, COA and MSDS should be requested for the selected grade and confirmed product specification.
For water-based paints and coatings, this organophilic bentonite page is not the correct starting point. Hermano also supplies inorganic bentonite grade GS-6TT640(FH) for water-based coating systems.
Organophilic bentonite is organically modified bentonite used as a rheology additive in suitable solvent-based coating systems. It is also commonly called organoclay.
In coating applications, organophilic bentonite and organoclay are generally used as names for organically modified bentonite. Product performance depends on the specific grade and manufacturing process.
This product family is intended for suitable solvent-based paint and coating systems. For water-based coatings, review the separate inorganic bentonite grade for water-based systems.
Organophilic bentonite can be used to adjust viscosity and thixotropic flow, support pigment and filler suspension, and help control settling and sagging. Performance depends on the selected grade and complete formulation.
Share your coating application, resin system, main solvents, processing conditions, current rheology additive and target issue. Hermano can use this information to discuss suitable grade options.
The addition level depends on the selected grade, resin and solvent system, processing method and target performance. It should be established through laboratory evaluation in the complete formulation.
Dispersion and any activation requirements depend on the selected organophilic bentonite grade and production process. These points should be confirmed before production-scale use.
Technical information and evaluation samples can be discussed for the selected grade and suitable coating projects. Grade-specific TDS, COA and MSDS should be confirmed before sampling or ordering.
Send your coating type, resin system, main solvents, current rheology additive and the performance issue you want to address. Hermano can then discuss suitable organophilic bentonite options.
