Laponite SL25

Laponite SL25 is a ready-for-use liquid dispersion of synthetic layered silicate modified with a patented dispersing agent. Supplied at 25% solids content in water, Laponite SL25 is a translucent and colourless low viscosity liquid dispersion. On addition to formulations containing, for example, resins, surfactants or pigments, highly thixotropic gels are formed rapidly. Laponite SL25 is used to impart a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations including DIY and industrial surface coatings, household cleaners, ceramic and agrochemical products. Laponite SL25 dispersions may be coated onto paper or other surfaces to give smooth, coherent, and electrically conductive films.
