Typical Properties

Laponite Usage

Cosmetics and Personal Care: Adds shear-sensitive, lightweight, and non-sticky textures to skin creams, liquid soaps, and makeup products.

Paints and Coatings: Prevents sagging in water-based paints and improves their flow and leveling properties.

Drug Delivery: Due to its large ionic surface area, it is increasingly being studied as a drug carrier and biomaterial.

Artifact Conservation: Museums and art restorers use it as a reversible and safe gelling agent in the creation of cleaning pastes to protect fragile artworks and paintings.

Biomedical Nanocarriers: Due to its dissociation into nanosheets in water, it is widely studied in the biomedical field for controlled drug release, tissue-engineered hydrogels, and the construction of bio-inks.
