LAPONITE® S482 is a synthetic layered silicate modified with a patented dispersing agent. It hydrates and swells in water to give translucent and colourless colloidal liquid dispersions known as sols. At 25% solids concentration in water, these will remain free flowing for up to 1 year. On addition of small quantities of electrolyte, or on addition to formulations containing e.g. resins, surfactants or pigments, highly thixotropic gels are formed rapidly. It 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.
