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.
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.
