It is a special formulated and customized product with high viscosity based on the natural nonmetal mineral – the attapulgite clay.

Characteristics:
With strong adsorption and cohesion forces, good suspending and colloidal properties, it can be made into mineral wool acoustic panel (e.g.ceiling) together with other fibers. It will not react with the molecular sieve. The product has such advantages as high water absorption, good thermal and sound insulation, adhesive value and adsorption. It can also be recycled.

Applications:
1. Building materials
(1) Can be used in both polar and non-polar paints, and dopes, such as polyurethane paints, building paints, anticorrosion paints, under-water paints, special powder paints, etc.
(2) The binder and bulking filler of the insulating glass desiccant and other desiccants
(3) Appending agent for under-water engineering works

2. Agriculture and chemistry industry
(1) The carrier of catalyst or the deflocculant of liquid fertilizer/pesticide.
(2) The binder and bulking filler of the latex and plastic, the desiccant and adhesives of molecular sieves.
(3) Bulking filler of commodity chemical industries.

3. Petroleum industry
The carrier of activator in the process of petroleum cracking, the bodiness agent of greases.

4. Printing & dyeing industry
Can be used as the substitute of starch by sizing, and used in bleaching, filling and anti-static coats.

5. Metallurgy industry
The adhesive of hydrated grit, defloccuant for hydrated coal slurry.

6. Potter industry
Can be used as the molding agent to increase anti-pressure of the enamel.

7. Medicine industry
Can be used as the absorbent of drugs, adhesives of ointment and pills etc.

8. Machinery industry
High-temperature greases.
