LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ SD

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ SD by Laviosa Minerals is a high performance, highly purified, self-activating, bentonite clay, organically modified with a quaternary alkyl ammonium compound. Acts as a rheology modifier for solvent-borne systems of low to medium polarity. Offers easy dispersibility, thixotropic effect, sag control and excellent levelling. It prevents pigments for long-term pigment storage settling. Shows good performance in solvents like aliphatic mineral spirits and aromatics. It is compatible with low polarity binders like alkyds & terpenes, petroleum derivatives and styrene-butadiene rubbers. LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ SD is recommended for anti-corrosive paints, road marking paints, primers, architectural paints, industrial finishes, bituminous undercoats and wood stains. Recommended applications include house & industrial paints (at dosage level 0.2% - 0.8%), primers & printing inks (at dosage level 0.5% - 1.0%), and for applications with strong anti-sagging properties (at dosage level up to 3.0%).
