Because of its own characteristics in the field of anti sedimentation, anti - flow and low cost, the application of organic bentonite has been occupying a very important position in the field of rheological additives for coatings. In the future with the introduction of new technologies, organic bentonite in the paint formulation design will be reflected in a more important role.

1. Wood coatings: transparent wood coatings, especially primer due to the addition of a relatively large amount of filler and bentonite with high anti sink, transparency requirements. This application area, general standard type bentonite as with outstanding increase thickening properties and has little effect on the film transparency, cost is relatively low, so in the market is more recognized by the paint manufacturer.

And wood paint due to some pigment itself has certain anti settling performance, and in the use of the process, in addition to bentonite anti sinking capability have certain requirements, more emphasis on the dispersion, flow equal effect. At this time, it is bound to be a better choice for the dispersed organic bentonite with better dispersion and leveling performance.

2. Ship paint: due to the demand for heavy anti-corrosion coatings, the general will add a large number of high proportion of pigments and fillers in order to achieve excellent anti-corrosion effect. In the application of this aspect, the selection of bentonite should pay attention to the balance of the anti settling and thickening performance. Therefore, we should pay attention to the selection of the high - density and high - performance and the performance of the bentonite with some of the polyethylene wax, in order to improve the quality of the ship paint. At the same time, due to the demand for high paint film thickness in the construction of the ship paint, this time can be considered to add some polyamide wax in the coating formula to improve the effect of the coating.

3. Anti rust and anti-corrosion coatings, antirust and anti corrosion coatings in general because of cost considerations of standard type organic bentonite can be selected, because such bentonite has strong thickening, anti settling effect, thus becoming such coating products in the main anti sinking one of the options. Such as anti corrosion paint on paint dry film thickness has a high demand, at this time, should consider to choose some with low thickening high anti settling properties of bentonite, because such bentonite low thickening characteristics therefore can improve the formulation of solids, in the absence of significant reduce wet film thickness under the premise to improve the coating dry film thickness.

Organic bentonite good thixotropic performance, not only in waterborne coatings applied and play a special role in the paint, printing ink, oil, cosmetics, waterproof material product field.
