Acti-Gel® 208 purified attapulgite is a high quality, self-dispersing hydrated magnesium aluminosilicate intended for high performance use as a binder, thixotrope, reinforcement additive and anti-settling agent. This unique formulary tool suspends and homogeneously disperses other particles in liquid systems creating a very stable mixture yet enables higher loadings of solids without increasing viscosity. Acti-Gel 208 additive can be a simple fix for syneresis, pigment float & flooding and sedimentation problems in a wide range of water-based coatings. Its low dosage, and extremely low residue makes it a quick “post-add” solution for stability problems in existing coating formulas without changing its rheology, paint formula or packaging label.
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.
