Organic fluid systems containing clay/polyamide compositions
First Claim
1. A liquid organic fluid system selected from the group consisting of paint, varnishes, sealants, adhesives, drilling fluids, waxes, greases and inks containing a pumpable organophilic clay/polyamide composition providing the liquid organic system with rheological properties where the organophilic clay/polyamide composition comprises;
- 1) from about 5 to 15 weight percent of an organophilicy modified smectite-type clay,2) from about 25 to about 35 weight percent of one or more defined rheologically active polyamides wherein the rheologically active polyamide is a polyamide ester comprising the reaction product of polycarboxylic acid, an active hydrogen compound, an alkoxylated active hydrogen compound and a capping agent and,3) from about 40 to 60 weight percent of one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of low molecular weight alcohols and aromatic solvents.

Abstract
A novel pourable organophilic clay polyamide composition useful as a rheological additive for organic fluid system comprising
a) from about 5 to 15 weight percent of an organophilicly modified smectite-type clay,
b) from about 25 to about 35 weight percent of one or more rheologically active polyamides and
c) from about 40 to 60 weight percent of one or more organic solvents preferably selected from the group consisting of n-propanol, toluene and mineral spirits.
The organophilic clay polyamide composition is used in non-aqueous fluid systems such as paints, inks, and coatings to provide improved rheological properties to the system.
