New inorganic thickener for drymix mortars
An attapulgite (needle-shaped magnesium alumino silicate) named Acti-Gel 208 has been developed by Active Minerals Company LLC (USA). Compared with normal attapulgites it is easier to (re-)disperse and gives the final rheology immediately after mixing the dry-mix mortar with water.
More detailed information and samples are available from the agency which represents Active Minerals in Europe:
