Thickened organic composition having biocidal activity and an additive for thickening and imparting biocidal activity to an organic composition

摘要

A thickened organic composition containing a first organophilic clay which will increase the viscosity of the composition and a second organophilic clay which is different from the first and which will impart biocidal activity to the composition. The second organophilic clay is the reaction product of a smectite-type clay and an organic cation having a benzyl group and a long chain alkyl group. The first and second organophilic clays can be mixed into the organic composition as an additive and may be prepared by using a mixture of cations.
