Valida fibrillated cellulose for enhanced stabilisation, thixotropy and open time

Valida is a unique fibrillated cellulose that forms an extensive 3D network in water via a combination of hydrogen bonding and mechanical entanglement. Able to stabilise both solid particles and oil droplets in suspension, Valida improves in-can stability, reduces cracking during drying, and adjusts open time in addition to imparting thixotropy. 

Learn more about the benefits of Valida in the below video from SAPPI.

For example, reversible thermochromic pigments are used in novelty mugs that reveal hidden designs when filled with hot beverages, packaging that signals when food or drink is at the optimal temperature for consumption, security labels for brand protection and anti-counterfeiting, and temperature-sensitive warning indicators on surfaces or medical devices.
