Rio-Bent Organoclay

No. Pre-gelling is optional for Rio-Bent grades — they can be mixed directly into formulations, simplifying the manufacturing process.

They are used in epoxy and PU floor coatings, general coating systems, drilling fluids, and concrete formulations where rheology control and fluid loss prevention are critical.

Rio-Bent forms a gel network in the binder system, providing thixotropic behaviour that prevents sag during application and ensures smooth, even coating performance.

Yes. Our organoclay grades are designed for good compatibility and stability in different binder systems and formulations, including solvent-borne, semi-polar, and water-based systems.
