Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Attapulgite in construction applications

Attapulgite is a naturally occurring clay mineral used as a thickening, rheology-modifying, and suspension agent. It enhances the stability, workability, and crack resistance of mortars, plasters, grouts, and tile adhesives.

Attapulgite is significantly more cost-effective than organic thickeners while delivering comparable or superior performance in thixotropy, sag resistance, and suspension stability.

Attapulgite is used in alkali-free accelerators, adhesives and sealants, dry mix mortars, plasters, and tile adhesive and grout formulations.

We offer ATPGEL 50 and Microngel SP 90, both engineered to address specific construction chemical formulation challenges.

No. One of its key benefits is that it requires low energy to disperse, simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing processing costs.

Yes. Attapulgite improves bonding strength and barrier properties in tile adhesive formulations, ensuring better adhesion and durability.
