LAPONITE® -SL 25 by BYK acts as rheology modifier based on synthetic phyllosilicate for aqueous systems to improve the rheological properties in the low shear range. It increases viscosity in the low shear range with a low impact in the high shear range. It is a liquid dispersion of a synthetic layered silicate modified with a patented dispersing agent.
- It improves the processability and storage stability of clear, pigmented, and matted do-it-yourself (DIY) aqueous coatings as well as industrially applied aqueous coatings.
- It is highly effective in preventing the settling of pigments, extenders, matting agents, or other solids used in aqueous coating systems.
- It is used in architectural coatings, wood and furniture coatings, general industrial coatings, and floor coatings.
