LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ XDS is a new high performing, highly effective rheological additive for solvent-borne systems of low to medium polarity. That provides thixotropic effect, sag control, excellent leveling and prevents pigments from long-term storage settling. Viscogel XDS disperses very easily even under low shear conditions. The nature of LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ XDS is a highly purified bentonite clay, organically modified with a quaternary alkylammonium compound. Unlike most of the other conventional organoclays, LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ XDS is selfactivating and easily dispersible, hence can be used at any point in the paint manufacturing process and can be used for post-correction.

Storage Stability: Level of addition strongly depends on the type of system and on the degree of thickening or other properties desired. For house and industrial paints, typical levels are between 0.2 % and 0.8 % of LAVIOSA VISCOGEL™ XDS. For primers and printing inks, higher levels are required (0.5-1.0 %). For strong antisagging properties, up to 3.0 % can be used. Compared to other products of its type it is also proved to be more versatile in terms of compatibility to a wide range of formulations.. Storage is advisable in a dry, sheltered place in closed bags. Packing is 15 Kg net paper bags.
