LAPONITE® RDS is a synthetic layered silicate incorporating an inorganic polyphosphate peptiser. It hydrates and swells in water to give clear and colourless colloidal dispersions of low viscosity known as sols. At 10% concentration in water, these will remain free flowing for 24 hours. On addition of small quantities of electrolyte, highly thixotropic gels are formed rapidly. This product is used to impart a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations including household and industrial surface coatings, cleansers, agrochemical and horticultural products.
