Attapulgite is a hydrated magnesium aluminosilicate having the ideal formula: 3MgO - 1.5 Al2O3 - 8SiO2 - 9H20.
Attapulgite occurs as packed bundles of submicron particles whose needle like structure gives it unique colloidal properties. In nature, Attapulgite occurs with impurities such as carbonate minerals and quartz. Zigma, with its experienced mineral and process specialists, produces Attapulgite clay with the least amount of impurities with tight process controls and rigorous QC processes.
