Laponite, a synthetic layered silicate is a unique speciality additive, which improves the performance and properties of a wide range of industrial and consumer products making them more valuable to your customers. There are two key areas of functional use for Laponite.

• As a rheology modifier – Laponite may be added to the formulation of many waterborne products such as surface coatings, household cleaners and personal care products. It will impart thixotropic, shear sensitive viscosity and improve stability and syneresis control.

• As a film former - Laponite is a film forming agent and is used to produce electrically conductive, antistatic and barrier coatings.

Rockwood is continuing to develop the Laponite product range to enhance its performance, consistency and breadth of application. Guideline formulations showing the extensive application range and versatility of Laponite are available from us. In partnership with our customers we are dedicated to ensuring that formulations containing Laponite will consistently offer tangible advantages to their users.

Advantages that can enhance the performance and increase the value of your products.
