LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ S4

LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ S4 by Laviosa Minerals is a high performance, bentonite clay, organically modified with a quaternary alkyl ammonium compound. Acts as a rheology modifier. Suitable for solvent borne systems of low to medium polarity. 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. Offers excellent thixotropic effect, sag control, good levelling and prevents pigments from long-term storage settling. Shows good performance in aliphatic mineral spirits and aromatics. LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ S4 is used in manufacturing processes for adhesive applications. Recommended dosage level for applications with strong anti-sagging properties (up to 3.0%). It has a shelf life of 36 months. Complies with ISO 9001 regulation.
