Attapulgite
High Absorption Attapulgite Clay for Industrial Applications
Product Summary
Attapulgite is a naturally occurring magnesium aluminum silicate clay characterized by its unique needle-like crystal structure, high surface area, and excellent absorption and rheological properties. It is widely used across multiple industries where moisture control, viscosity modification, suspension stability, and chemical inertness are critical. Attapulgite performs exceptionally well in saline and high-temperature environments, making it suitable for demanding industrial and oilfield applications.

Applications
- Oil & Gas Drilling Fluids: Used as a viscosifier and suspension agent in drilling muds, particularly effective in saltwater and high-salinity environments where conventional bentonite performance is limited.
- Industrial Absorbents: Widely used for oil spill control, chemical spill absorption, and industrial floor absorbents due to its high porosity and absorption capacity.
- Animal Litter & Hygiene Products: Applied in animal litter formulations for superior moisture absorption, odor control, and clumping performance.
- Paints & Coatings: Functions as a rheology modifier and anti-settling agent, improving viscosity control, storage stability, and pigment suspension.
- Adhesives & Sealants: Used to control flow properties, prevent sagging, and enhance consistency in adhesive and sealant formulations.
- Agriculture & Animal Feed: Acts as an anti-caking agent and toxin binder in animal feed and agricultural applications.
- Pharmaceutical & Chemical Processing: Used as a carrier, filtering aid, and stabilizing agent in selected pharmaceutical and chemical processes.
- Export Supply for Industrial Processors: Supplied in bulk quantities to global manufacturers and processors across drilling, absorbent, and specialty chemical markets.
