Synthetic inorganic polymer "Smecton"
It has cation exchange capacity and can intercalate various ions between the layers.
"Smecton" is a synthetic inorganic polymer with a saponite structure developed by Kunimine Industries Co., Ltd. using proprietary technology. Traditionally, minerals referred to as smectites are known as "clays with a thousand uses" and are utilized in a wide range of industries and in our everyday lives. However, since smectites are derived from natural clay, it is difficult to completely remove impurities from the soil, which limits their applications. Therefore, to enable a broader range of uses, research was conducted on the synthesis of smecton based on pure chemical raw materials. [Features] - When dispersed in water, it achieves higher viscosity compared to natural clay minerals and other synthetic clay minerals, with significant thixotropic properties. - The average particle size of the product powder is about 20 μm, but when dispersed in water, it swells and disperses to as fine as approximately 0.02 μm (Kunipia 0.1–0.5 μm). - It has cation exchange capacity (CEC) and can intercalate various ions between its layers.
