LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ B4

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ B4 by Laviosa Minerals is a bentonite clay grade, organically modified with a quaternary alkyl ammonium compound. Acts as a rheology modifier for solvent-borne systems. It requires mechanical energy, shear forces applied with a good dispersion equipment, and a chemical (polar) activator to reach the proper level of delamination of the organobentonite platelet stacks. Possesses low to medium polarity that gives thixotropic effect. Offers sag control and excellent levelling. Shows good performance in solvents like aliphatic mineral spirits and aromatics. Used in manufacturing adhesives. Recommended for applications with strong anti-sagging properties (at dosage level up to 3.0%). Complies with ISO 9001 regulation. The shelf life of LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ B4 is 36 months.
