LAPONITE-RD

Highly shear thinning layered silicate rheological additive for water-borne systems. Used in surface coatings, household products and general and industrial applications. Also used to stabilise emulsions. Synergistic benefits are developed when formulated in combinations with polymer based co-thickeners. LAPONITE RD is a synthetic layered silicate. It is insoluble in water but hydrates and swells to give clear and colourless colloidal dispersions. At concentrations of 2% or greater in water, highly thixotropic gels can be produced. Recommended for imparting a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations. These include household and industrial surface coatings, cleansers, ceramic glazes agrochemical, oilfield and horticultural products.
