LAPONITE is a film-forming material that can form a smooth and dense coating layer on a wide range of substrates without the addition of a binder.
Advantages of using LAPONITE for antistatic coatings: 1. LAPONITE films conduct electricity through two independent mechanisms: ► Ionic - partially affected by humidity. ► Electronic - not affected by humidity. Overall, the conductivity of LAPONITE coatings is less influenced by changes in relative humidity in the surrounding environment compared to coatings made with cationic or anionic polymer resins. 2. LAPONITE coatings do not re-dissolve and are suitable for overcoating with either aqueous or solvent-based coating formulations. 3. LAPONITE films are suitable for use with writing, printing, or solvent or water-based adhesives. 4. LAPONITE films possess gas barrier and blocking prevention properties. 5. LAPONITE coatings do not discolor over time or when heated. 6. Paper coated with LAPONITE can be easily reprocessed.
