LAPONITE-RD

LAPONITE RD is a synthetic layered silicate powder that forms highly thixotropic gels in water. At concentrations above 2%, it imparts shear-thinning and thickening properties ideal for Advanced Materials formulations. LAPONITE RD hydrates to give transparent dispersions, suspending additives without impacting optical properties. Its unique structure enables controlled rheology even at low loadings. As a result, LAPONITE RD is widely used to develop coatings, composites and other Advanced Materials with optimized flow and structural properties. Formulators benefit from the precision and reproducibility LAPONITE RD provides for developing Advanced Materials with enhanced performance.
