Abstract
The invention describes a process for obtaining clay having improved characteristics that comprises incorporating an inorganic matrix onto an organic matrix at determined proportions. The industrial clay obtained is malleable and highly resistant to compression and strain, of great use in the industry of prototype elaboration.
Claims6
A process for obtaining industrial clay comprising the following steps:
- a) preparing an organic matrix by mixing and heating components consisting of wax, petroleum jelly, oil, microcrystalline wax, paraffin, lubricating oils, mineral oil, saturated hydrocarbons and/or blends thereof;
- b) incorporating, in a weight ratio of inorganic matrix to organic matrix ranging between 1:1 and 3:2, an inorganic matrix comprising bentonite and filler materials and/or blends thereof onto the organic matrix obtained in a), until an industrial clay is obtained in the form of a homogenous paste.
