About Inorganic Thickener
Inorganic thickeners thicken the fluids with their large surface area. These products produce an actually smooth non-melting grease which will be made to perform alright when careful consideration is given to product application. Inorganic thickeners are clay and silica that contains spheres and platelets. The inorganic thickener has the benefits of strong thickening property, good thixotropy, wide pH range and good stability. However, because bentonite is an inorganic powder, good absorbency, can significantly reduce the coating surface gloss, play an identical role in matting agent. Emulsions also can be stabilized using the inorganic thickeners, and, as in stabilization of suspensions, the mechanism is mainly the building of viscosity within the external phase. They can be used under very specific conditions when other thickeners cannot be used like for ionizing radiation, extreme acid and alkaline media, food applications.
