Montmorillonite's unique structure creates a platey particle

Nanoclays

The essential nanoclay raw material is montmorillonite, a 2-to-1 layered smectite clay mineral with a platey structure.

Nanocomposites

Nanocomposites are prepared by fully dispersing a nanoclay into a host polymer, generally at less than 5wt% levels.
