Attagel®

Attapulgite Rheology Modifier

Attagel® products are attapulgite clay powders used for imparting viscosity modification with thixotopic behaviour to a range of aqueous and non-aqueous systems. They are finely pulverized for ease of dispersion and come in a range of different particle sizes to suit various applications.

Typically these products offer improved syneresis control (anti-settling), sag resistance, film build, levelling, spatter resistance, feathering, tint strength and hiding.
