Min-U-Gel® 500+ High Performance Attapulgite Rheology Modifier:
Active Minerals International, a global leader in industrial minerals, is proud to feature Min-U-Gel® 500+, an attapulgite product designed for superior thixotropic performance in both water and solvent based formulations for paints, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Min-U-Gel 500+, the latest addition to Active Minerals International’s product portfolio, is designed to exceed the expectations of our valued customers. While retaining the versatility and application range of Min-U-Gel 400, Min-U-Gel 500+ takes performance to a higher level. For a technical presentation on Min-U-Gel® 500+ attapulgite at the American Coatings Show contact General Manager of Sales Michael Morris 540-514-5152 or m.morris@activeminerals.com.
Min-U-Gel® 400 Attapulgite Thixotropic Thickener:
Min-U-Gel® 400 attapulgite thixotropic thickener is an excellent value for low-shear rheology control (flow & leveling, sag control, spatter resistance and more) in a wide range of liquid systems. It is most valued as a reliable stabilizer that is derived by its 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.
Acti-Gel 208:
Acti-Gel® 208 purified magnesium aluminosilicate provides all the great benefits of Min-U-Gel 400 but with several added benefits, including increasing solids without raising viscosity. Its lower dosage and easy dispersion makes it an ideal post-add (or add-on-top) fix for syneresis and stability problems, without changing rheology.
Acti-Min PG:
Acti-Min® PG kaolin extender pigment is our highest brightness product. Combined with its low screen residue (+325 mesh wet residue <0.1% or 5+ Hegman) and superior gloss & sheen control, Acti-Min® PG is a viable lbs-for-lbs direct replacement for higher cost water-washed kaolin products in coatings and similar applications. It’s very fine and narrow particle size distribution in the 0.25 micron range has shown to be more effective at TiO
2 extension in latex paint than standard water-washed kaolin grades.
