Conclusion
Advances in clay mineralogy have led to the possibility of synthetising various species, including hectorite-like swelling minerals of improved properties. The very fine particle size and facility with which the flow properties of the dispersions can be changed indicates that they can perform a useful function in the paint industry both as protective colloids and as relatively cheap flow property modifiers in different media.
