Resin compositions comprising organoclays of improved dispersibility

摘要: Resin-containing compositions, e.g. unsaturated polyester or epoxy resin are prepared using an organoclay of improved dispersibility. The is by suspending a smectite clay in water to form fluid suspension; treating the suspension with solution inorganic salt, cation which has valency at least two, concentration salt being such as flocculate substantially completely; mixing flocculated quaternary ammonium compound, one four alkyl groups from 10 24 carbon atoms; and dewatering resultant product.
