LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ XDS

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ XDS by Laviosa Minerals is a self-activating, easy dispersible, highly purified, bentonite clay organically modified with quaternary alkylammonium compound. Acts as a rheology modifier for solvent borne systems of low to medium polarity. It prevents pigments for long-term pigment storage settling. Provides thixotropic effect, sag control and excellent levelling. It 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™ XDS is used for architectural paints, industrial finishes, anti-corrosive paints, road marking paints, primers, bituminous undercoats and wood stains. Typical applications include primers & printing inks (at dosage level 0.5% - 1.0%), house & industrial paints (at dosage level 0.2% - 0.8%) and for applications with strong anti-sagging properties (at dosage level up to 3.0%). It has a shelf life 36 months.
