Laponite RD is a synthetic layered silicate. It is insoluble in water but hydrates and swells to give clear and colourless colloidal dispersions. At concentrations of 2% or greater in water, highly thixotropic gels can be produced. It is used for imparting a shear sensitive structure to a wide range of water-borne formulations. These include household and industrial surface coatings, cleansers, ceramic glazes agrochemical, oilfield and horticultural products.
