Lithium Magnesium Sodium Silicate

Chemical Properties

High viscosity at low shear rates which produces very effective anti-settingproperties.
Low viscosity at high shear rates.
An unequalled degree of shear thinning.
Progressive and controllable thixotropic restructuring after shear.

Uses

Lithium Magnesium Sodium Silicate (Laponite) is used to control a formulation's viscosity and to reduce product density or bulk, for example in depilatory or powder-based products.

Application

Lithium Magnesium Sodium Silicate (Laponite) can be used for imparting a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations. These include household and industrial surface coatings(such as Water based multicolored paint, Automotive OEM & refinish, Decorative & architectural finishes ,Textured coatings,clear coats & varnishes, industrial & protective coatings, rust conversion coatings Printing inks.wood varnishes and pigment suspensions) Cleaners, ceramic glazes agrochemical, oil-fields and horticultural products.
