Claim 2
Dependent Claim
38 words
A self-activating organoclay rheological composition useful as an additive for non-aqueous fluid systems, comprising a mixture of an organo modified clay and an alcohol having the formula ##STR2## wherein n is a whole integer from 1 to 5.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the particle size of the composition is less than 10 microns.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the particle size of the composition is about 2 microns.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the particle size of the composition is less than 10 microns and the alcohol is neopentylglycol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
In a non-aqueous fluid system used for coating the surface of an article, the improvement which comprises including in such a system a mixture of an organo modified clay and an alcohol having the formula ##STR3## wherein n is a whole integer from 1 to 5, to control the rheological properties of the composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
54 words
In a non-aqueous fluid system used for coating the surface of an article, the improvement which comprises including in such a system a mixture of an organo modified clay and an alcohol having the formula ##STR3## wherein n is a whole integer from 1 to 5, to control the rheological properties of the composition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The non-aqueous fluid system of claim 5 wherein the mixture of organo modified clay and alcohol has a particle size of less than 10 microns.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
The non-aqueous fluid system of claim 5 wherein said alcohol is neopentylglycol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
