inorganic gel magnesium lithium silicate

Product Description

Magnesium lithium Silicate hectorite same as Laponite RD (High light transmittance)

Description
Magnesium lithium Silicate is a synthetic layered silicate. It is insoluble in water but hydrates and swells to give clear and colorless colloidal dispersions. At concentrations of 2% or greater in water, highly thixotropic gels can be produced.  
Application
Used for imparting a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations.
These include household and industrial surface coatings, cleansers, ceramic glazes agrochemical, oilfield and horticultural products.

Storage
Magnesium lithium silicate is hygroscopic and should be stored under dry conditions.
