attapulgite

Attapulgite clay, a naturally occurring mineral, is a crystalline hydrated magnesium aluminum silicates. Its typical molecular formula is Mg5Si8O20(OH)2(OH2)4.4H2O, It has a unique three dimensional chain structure and a special needle fiber crystal mould, boasting of it unusual AttaGel and AttaSorb quality. The AttaGel attapulgite is a famous thickener, deflocculant, binder element, stabilizer, flow aid and thixotropic agent. It can be used for paint, daub, ink, resin, grease, adhesives, putty, cosmetics, liquid fertilizer, granule fertilizer, molecular sieve, decoration board, plastics, rubber, mud for well drilling, etc. It also sees its application as decolorizing agent, clarification, absorbent for medicine, AttaSorb for cat litter, supports for agricultural pesticide, catalytic agent, oil refining addition agent, and in sewage treatment and effluent gas filtration. Attapulgite is honored as an environmental protection product for it is a natural innoxious  tasteless metalloid mineral.

Pharmaceutical grade of attapulgite
Pharmasorb attapulgite is a pharmaceutical grade of attapulgite. Attapulgite is native hydrated magnesium aluminum silicate essentially consisting of the clay mineral. Attapulgite is highly adsorbebt and is mainly used as a pharmaceutial aid. It functions due to its high adsorbility for toxins and its ability to built bulk in the system.

For intestinal/diarrhea treatment formulations, Pharmasorb attapulgite products can absorb toxins in the intestinal tract and help eliminate cramping and discomfort. These high-performance additives also can be used for suspending, thickening and tablet binding applications.

Pharmasorb attapulgite products are specially designed for use as adsorbents and suspending aids in intestinal medicines, primarily in products for diarrhea treatment. Their value here lies in their high toxin sorptivity and their ability to build bulk in the intestinal system. Much of the pain and discomfort associated with diarrhea is due to the action of toxins in the body. Pharmasorb products not only effectively adsorb the toxins, eliminating distress and cramping, they work much faster than other preparations. Attapulgite can absorb effective elements of medicines and release them at proper speeds. It can also absorb the bacteria and poisonous substances in the bowels and stomachs of human beings. For example, it can absorb neomycin sulfate and tetracyline hydrochloric acid. It can also remove aflatoxin B2 from polluted media.
