Can I thicken acidic products using Laponite®?

Yes, with care. Laponite® is a mildly alkaline material and is easiest to formulate at neutral pH and the basic side of the pH range. However, when handled correctly, it can be used to produce thixotropic rheology in, for example, skin creams at pH 5.5, surface coatings at pH 3 and mineral acid based toilet cleaners at pH<1.
