Attapulgite agricultural sorbent product

Attasorb™

Attasorb™ product is a granular, thermally-activated Attapulgite designed for use mainly in agricultural sorbent applications.  Available as a low volatile matter (LVM), or regular volatile matter (RVM). The RVM products have a high level of sorptivity and an intermediate level of particle strength.  The LVM products have good sorptivity and a high level of particle strength. Attasorb sorbents are available in a wide range of particle sizes and packaging to maximize end-use versatility.

LVM Applications

Ag Carrier - Pesticide

Attasorb LVM products are highly-sorptive, solid, inert carriers of agricultural liquid and low-melting active ingredients. They provide unique properties including: rapid absorption of spray-impregnated pesticides to produce dry, free-flowing products with minimal dust in the final formulation to minimize worker exposure and drift. Attasorb LVM products also offer improved chemical stability of active ingredients and low density (high particle count per pound)

Agricultural

Attasorb products are used as toxicant carriers and diluents in pesticide applications. LVM granules are harder and allow slow release over time.

Sorbents / Filter Aids

Attasorb LVM thermally activated granular sorbents are widely used to decolorize, deodorize, and to remove surfactants, water, and other more polar impurities from a wide variety of organic liquids. Granular grades are used in static bed or cartridge applications while the fine granulars are used for contact filtration applications. The sorptive nature of these products makes them ideal for removing dirt and oil from animal pelts, in cleaning stone and statuary, and for absorbing oil spills from racetracks. Any application requiring precisely milled, highly sorptive hard or soft particles is well served by our granular Attapulgite.

RVM Applications

They provide unique properties including: rapid absorption of spray-impregnated pesticides to produce dry, free-flowing products with minimal dust in the final formulation to minimize worker exposure and drift. Attasorb® RVM products also offer improved chemical stability of active ingredients and low density (high particle count per pound).

Agricultural

Attasorb products are used as toxicant carriers and diluents in pesticide applications. RVM granules break down quickly in the environment, allowing for a fast toxicant release.

Granular grades are used in static bed or cartridge applications while the fine granulars are used for contact filtration applications. The sorbtive nature of these products makes them ideal for removing dirt and oil from animal pelts, in cleaning stone and staturay, and for absorbing oil spills from racetracks. Any application requiring precisely milled, highly sorptive hard or soft particles is well served by our granular Attapulgite.
