Attapulgite Clay Thickener For Dry Mix Mortar Color Cement Mortar Self Leveling Mortar Thixotropic Agent

High viscosity of attapulgite clay Description

High viscosity of attapulgite clay is produced from attapulgite raw clay after the beneficiation,crushing,immersion,extrusion,stoving,grinding and grading.It is a kind of high viscosity product that depend on the scientific formula and special processing technology.

Attapulgite Feature as a Suspending Thixotropic  Agent

Attapulgite high viscosity agent / suspending agent / thixotropic agent is made of colloidal attapulgite clay ore as raw material, finely processed with mineral processing, crushing, activation soaking, pressing, drying and grinding procedure. This product has high cohesiveness, excellent suspension and colloidal thixotropy,  and strong adhesion, good suspension, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, fire resistance and corrosion resistance properties,which is inert and stable in the working medium and is not easy to collapse and deform after molding. Widely used in pellet feed, granular fertilizer, mineral desiccant, molecular sieve and building board, and also used as suspending agent and thickener of medium and high grade coatings.

In End-Use Applications

Attapulgite thixotropic thickening provides many beneits. At low shear it maintains high viscosity which minimizes sag and how after application, controls the penetration rate of adhesives and stains and prevents adhesive squeeze-out during high pressure laminating. High shear rates produce low viscosity that permits faster mixing prior to application, makes application easier, and improves leveling during the application of high viscosity mixtures.

Attapulgite Mortar Thixotropic Agent  is widely used in:

Paints & Coatings, Sealants, Mastics, Adhesives, Asphalt & Fire Retardant Coatings, Inks, Stains, Liquid Waxes, Sealers, Detergents, Creams, Plastisols, Friction Materials, Fire Proofing, Joint Compounds, Foundry Coatings and Pesticides.

This thixotropic effect coupled with suspension and its rapid recovery provides many other beneits. For example, Attapulgite Thickener in paints & coatings, Attapulgite improves:

Another key feature is its rapid recovery. Mixtures quickly return to their original viscosity after mixing or after being applied. Unlike many thixotropes, Attapulgite product does not fade in that this shear-thinning effect can be repeated endlessly without loss of original viscosity.
