Rheology additive based on an organically modified, synthetic phyllosilicate for
aqueous systems to improve the rheological properties in the low shear range.
Special features and benefits
LAPONITE-EP increases viscosity in the low shear range with a low impact in the high shear range.
It improves processability and storage stability. It is also highly effective in preventing the settling of
pigments, extenders, matting agents, or other solids used in aqueous coating systems. LAPONITE-EP is
particularly effective in formulations with highly acidic or highly alkaline pH values, as well as in systems
that contain higher levels of water-soluble organic solvents or dissolved salts.
