TY-RDS is a synthetic layered silicate incorporating an inorganic polyphosphate peptiser. It hydrates and swells in water to give clear and colourless colloidal dispersions of low viscosity known as sols. At 10% concentration in water  these will remain free flowing for 24 hours. On addition of small quantities of electrolyte  highly thixotropic gels are formed rapidly.

Application

TY-RDS may be utilised as a predispersed liquid concentrate and added to formulations at any point during manufacture. It is used to impart a shear sensitive

structure to a wide range of waterborne formulations including household and industrial surface coatings,cleansers,agrochemical and horticultural products.

TY-RDS may be coated onto paper or other surfaces from concentrated sols to give smooth  coherent  and electrically conductive films.
