The use of organoclays FRGEL 200 in refractory materials has been investigated to improve the performance of the refractory products.

One of the main advantages of using organoclays in refractory materials is their ability to improve the thermal stability of the refractory products. The addition of organoclays can increase the refractoriness of the materials, allowing them to withstand higher temperatures without deformation or damage.

Organoclays can also improve the rheological properties of refractory materials. The addition of organoclays can increase the viscosity of the materials, which can improve their workability and prevent segregation during processing.

Another advantage of using organoclays in refractory materials is their ability to adsorb organic molecules, which can help to reduce the emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the production and use of the refractory products.

Overall, the use of organoclays in refractory materials can provide several benefits, including improved thermal stability, better rheological properties, and reduced emissions of VOCs. However, the selection of the appropriate organoclay and the optimal dosage for a specific application should be carefully evaluated to ensure the desired properties are achieved.
