BENTONE^® 34

BENTONE 34 rheological additive is the pioneering organoclay first used by the oil service industry to take advantage of the temperature resistant rheology characteristic of organoclays. BENTONE 34 is a moderate temperature performance bentonite based organoclay. In use for over forty years, BENTONE 34 is a cost–effective product, particularly in all–oil, invert diesel and mineral oil based fluids, where sufficient shear is available to achieve full dispersion.
