Attapulgite (palygorskite) is a naturally occurring clay mineral widely used in construction chemicals as a thickening agent, rheology modifier, and suspension agent. It improves stability, strength, and durability of construction materials, enhancing workability in concrete, cement formulations, mortars, plasters, and grouts. Our grades are specially developed considering construction chemical challenges, delivering stable and flowable formulations at a cost advantage over organic thickeners.

Common questions about Attapulgite in construction applications
Find detailed answers about specifications, applications, and technical details.
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.
