Source for Acti-Gel (purified magnesium alumiosilicate)

[SFKeller]

I have a few recipes I want to try that include Acti-Gel (Purified Magnesium Aluminosilicate)  which is produced by Active Minerals. 

 According to Digital Fire, https://digitalfire.com/material/acti-gel+208   Advantages: In both kinds of glazes, we find that many customers use HEC, CMC or HPMC to stabilize the glaze along with Laponite, Bentonite (Bentone EW, LT, etc.). When Acti-Gel is used, we can reduce Cellulose to 0.05% or 0.1% and, at the same time, eliminate the Bentonite or Laponite. Acti-Gel dries very quickly. This can be a big advantage to many glaze formulas. For those that require a little longer dry time, we found that by adding about 0.05% Cellulose, customers can "dial-in" dry times. Acti-Gel enables the glaze to SPRAY much better than other systems, Acti-Gel glazes have HIGHER ADHESION STRENGTHS and can be applied thicker without running, sagging, settling.

I did contact the company, and they were very nice and said they would try to locate an appropriate reseller but that's been several weeks ago. (since I ony need .01 grams in a 100 gram batch, that's a tiny amount for industry, even multipied out to a big bucket.) Is anyone familiar with this?  Thanks for your help, Sandi.

Would Active Minerals sell you a sample? Maybe Tony Hansen could tell you where he purchased it? I had a look at the Plainsman owned store but not seeing it listed there. (Hansen is tech  there)

Try Clay Art Center. Per their website, they sell 5, 10, etc. pound amounts....

ClayArtCenter.net

There may be other vendors carrying it - not finding, however...
