Exilva
Exilva microfibrillated cellulose products are water suspended, non-soluble, microfibers used in several application areas from cosmetics to paints and adhesives.
Exilva microfibers form flexible aggregates with a high surface area allowing efficient interactions with the surroundings. When fully dispersed, Exilva possesses unique functionality as structured, thixotropic gel systems that are very dependent on the shear applied.

- Good Dispersion
- Benefits
Concentration
The concentration of the Exilva product influences the techniques chosen to prepare the suspensions. In general, high shear mixing should be used whenever possible.
The 2% gel can be dispersed with lower shear into the formulation, whereas the 10% paste always requires the use of high shear.
High shear means the use of a stator-rotor homogenizer (e.g., Ultra Turrax, Silverson) and low shear high stirring speed propeller or blade mixer.
Good Dispersion
Dispersion times depend highly on the scale and the equipment used, as well as on the composition of your formulation. The following examples demonstrate the performance of different dispersion equipment for different Exilva grades in water at lab scale. You should always evaluate your own system to ensure proper dispersion of Exilva
Evaluation of the Dispersion
- Visible lumps or aggregates are a clear indicative of an undispersed material. Also, immediate sedimentation or phase separation might indicate insufficient dispersion. Correctly dispersed material will show efficient thickening effect with a smooth appearance.
- If you suspect that the dispersion is not optimal, you can test increasing the stirring speed and/or time and follow the viscosity. If the viscosity continues to increase, the original mixing was not sufficient.
