Min-U-Gel® 400

Min-U-Gel® attapulgite thixotropic thickener is highly suited for low-shear rheology control (flow & leveling, sag control, spatter resistance and more) in a wide range of liquid systems. It is a reliable stabilizer that is derived from unique colloidal lathe-shaped particles forming a very stable lattice structure that keeps liquids and particles more evenly dispersed and suspended. The uniformity it creates generates unique multi-functional performance benefits well beyond rheological properties, such as syneresis control, suspension, improved tint strength and hiding, reduced pigment flooding and in-can stability.

Company

Active Minerals, a trusted source of gellant attapulgite products and air-float kaolin extender pigments, has a proven record of reliable supply for over 50 years. Min-U-Gel® thixotropic thickening & suspension agents provide excellent flow & leveling, syneresis control, sag resistance, in-can stability, improved freeze-thaw & much more. Acti-Gel® 208 purified magnesium aluminosilicate greatly improves stabilization and rheology of high solids systems. Acti-Min® PG kaolin extender pigment is our highest brightness product, a viable replacement for some higher cost water-washed kaolin products in coatings and similar applications.
