Why Palygorskite Base Clay?
Palygorskite is a naturally active clay mined from the Ochlocknee region in Georgia, U.S.A. Differentiated by structure, porosity and physical characteristics, palygorskite clay naturally promotes excellent flow and has excellent adsorption capacity.
This specialty clay is a lightweight adsorptive mineral with a large surface area and extensive interconnected porosity. Palygorskite’s porous structure may be filled with liquids of all types, allowing for the absorption and entrapment of contaminants.
Starting from our unique palygorskite base clay, our products are engineered to provide tailored solutions in the processing and purification of various oils, fats, and fuels. All products are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A.
