Organoclay: Modified Clay for Oil Removal and More - Vadodara

Organoclay is a specially treated clay mineral that excels at absorbing oil and other organic materials. Made from natural clay (bentonite), it undergoes a modification process to become oil-loving (hydrophobic) while retaining its high surface area. This unique combination makes it useful for various applications, including:
Oil spill cleanup: Organoclay can effectively remove oil from water.
Paint formulations: It acts as a component in paints.
Drilling fluids: It enhances the viscosity of oil-based drilling fluids.
Polymer chemistry: It serves as a nucleating agent in polymer production.
