Abstract.

Under neutral conditions colloidal plates of clay in water are negatively charged . When the pH of the clay-in-water dispersion is lowered slightly, positive charges can develop on the edges of the clay plates giving rise to an edge-to-face type gelation . Sodium fluosilicate, which has a rather high acidity and which is very slightly soluble in water, can be used as gelling agent. By beating a clay slip containing, a surfaceactive agent "Teepool" and sodium fluosilicate, one can obtain a stable foam followed by formation of a firm gel. When then the wet gel is dried a solid foam product is built up.
