Attapulgite Clay

Attapulgite is naturally mined clay. Attapulgite had been used by industry for more than 40 years before it was recognized as a distinct clay mineral. It is a needle-like clay mineral composed of magnesium-aluminum silicate. With the realization that Activated Attapulgite Clay was indeed a unique mineral, con- siderable efforts have been expended over the years by industry to take advantage of its characteristic properties in industrial applications.
