Inorganic Rheological Additives for Latex Paints
Laviosa is eager to support many industries. It does this with its selection of bentonite clays. LAVIOTHIX® and LAVIOKOLL® ranges are purified and activated inorganic clay-based rheological additives. They are suitable for mineral-based systems and coatings. This enables their use in many systems. These include latex paints, ceramic glazes, sealants, inks, mortars, plasters, stuccos and adhesives.
Laviosa produces a series of nano clays under the DELLITE® brand. They are used in various polymeric matrices to form nano composites. They exhibit interesting properties and advantages. This includes lightweighting, increased fire resistance, superior gas permeability and improved mechanical properties.
LAVIOSA ARGIMEL® organoclays provide thixotropic benefits to oil-based lubricants and solvent-borne coatings systems. They are available as pre-gels or as self-activating powders.
