Organophilic clay

Organophilic clay is a clay-based material modified to have a strong affinity for organic compounds. It possesses hydrophobic properties, meaning it repels water while attracting and adsorbing organic molecules. This makes it useful in various applications, such as oil drilling fluids, paint additives, and wastewater treatment for organic pollutant removal.
