LAVIOTHIX® P1

1 of 3 products in this brand
LAVIOTHIX® P1 is a tixotropic, antisettling, absorbing additives, rheological controller specific for water borne formulations that forms non transparent gel. LAVIOTHIX® P1 is a thickening and antisettling agent, based on a selected, purified and activated white bentonite clay with a high montmorillonite content Activity is strictly correlated to its hydration capacity and to give rise to micronic an submicronic particles in dispersion, with a high specific surface; the platelets. These one contribute to create the “body” of the product to be formulated by the formation of an internal tridimensional structure within which different particles and fillers may be incorporated

Incorporation

LAVIOTHIX® P1 will hydrate when added to water. To obtain maximum hydration and optimum performance in the shortest time, we suggest following incorporation procedures:

1. Slowly add LAVIOTHIX® and increase shear rate to maximum amount which may be tolerated in the mixing container. Incorporates more quickly in warm water. However, do not allow water temperature to rise above 50° C prior to full hydration. Once hydration has occurred, there is no temperature limitation for LAVIOTHIX®

2. Continue to disperse until a constant viscosity is reached (15-30 min) 3. Add other formula ingredients in appropriate order

Recommendation

The viscosity of the slurry could rise during time after the preparation, it’s better to measure viscosity the day after

Dosage and Storage Stability

Dosage Typical addition levels are 0.5% - 5.0% of LAVIOTHIX® P1 by weight of total formulation The addition levels depend on the degree of suspension, the rheological properties or viscosity required.

Product do not deteriorate in a significant way in a 12 months period. Storage is advisable in a dry, sheltered place in closed bags.
