Attapulgite

Attapulgite

Attapulgite is rheology minerals with excellent thixotropic builder in the system. It is widely use in various industry to improve the workability and , adjust the viscosity, keep the fillers in better suspendability forma and thereby help to control the overall flow characteristics. Attapulgite are widely use in construction chemical industry while manufacturing alkali free accelerators to keep the fillers in liquid system homogenously suspendable , It offers superior performance in drilling fluids and cementing applications due to its unique structure and high surface area make it an excellent rheology modifier, providing stability and viscosity control in drilling muds.

In agricultural industry it helps to improve soil structure due to its remarkable water holding capacity with indirectly also promote nutrient availability, and improve overall plant health. In paints and coatings It acts as a thickening and suspending agent, improving the stability and flow characteristics of coatings. Attapulgite also enhances the hiding power and sag resistance of paints, resulting in high-quality finishes.
