In today’s industrial landscape, high-performance mineral inputs are more critical than ever. Hudson Resources, an Australian-based mining company, operates world-class attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth (DE) deposits in Western Australia. These minerals form the foundation for numerous industrial applications, from filtration and coatings to specialty absorbents.
It is important to understand the distinction between the two businesses:
Hudson Resources mines and supplies raw mineral ore.
Hudson Marketing Pty Ltd processes raw minerals into finished or specialty industrial products, tailored for specific applications, including niche uses in jet fuel clarification.

1. Premium Raw Ore for Industrial Use - Attapulgite clay & Diatomaceous earth
Hudson Resources’ minerals are mined to exacting standards, offering high purity and consistency essential for industrial manufacturers:
Attapulgite clay: Ideal for thickening, stabilizing, or absorbent applications in drilling fluids, specialty coatings, sealants, and industrial absorbents.
Diatomaceous earth (DE): Naturally high-purity amorphous silica suitable for filtration, fillers, absorbents, and insulation applications.
By supplying high-quality raw ore, Hudson Resources allows industrial users to customize processing and formulation according to their exact needs.
2. Hudson Marketing: Adding Value Through Processing Attapulgite clay & Diatomaceous earth
While Hudson Resources focuses on raw ore, Hudson Marketing converts these minerals into value-added products for both industrial and specialty applications.
Jet fuel refinement: Hudson Marketing provides processed attapulgite clay products (e.g., JetFix®) used in jet fuel clarification, helping refineries in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and South Africa remove impurities and achieve strict aviation fuel quality standards.
Industrial solutions: Beyond fuel, processed minerals support water treatment, polymers, adhesives, coatings, and specialty absorbents.
ISO-certified manufacturing: Ensures consistency, traceability, and quality for industrial applications where performance and compliance are critical.
Hudson Marketing does not refine fuel itself. Its role is supplying high-performance adsorbent media used in refinery systems operated by industrial partners.
3. Strategically Located and Secure Supply of Attapulgite clay & Diatomaceous earth
Global supply chains face increasing geopolitical and logistical challenges. Hudson Resources’ Western Australian mines provide:
Stable jurisdiction and regulatory compliance.
Efficient access to key ports for global export to Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America.
Secure, reliable supply outside volatile regions, which is particularly important for industrial and refinery customers seeking alternatives to Chinese or Eastern European mineral sources.
4. Industrial Versatility: Attapulgite clay & Diatomaceous earth
Both attapulgite clay and DE serve as critical raw inputs across high-value sectors:
Mineral | Key Industrial Applications | Value Delivered |
Attapulgite Clay | Drilling fluids, specialty coatings, sealants, absorbents | Predictable thickening, suspension, and absorbency |
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) | Water & beverage filtration, polymers, adhesives, insulation | Improves filtration efficiency, filler performance, and absorbency |
Processed products from Hudson Marketing enable industrial clients to achieve precise specifications, whether in manufacturing or specialized refinery processes.
5. Sustainability and Natural Performance of Attapulgite clay & Diatomaceous earth
Hudson’s minerals are naturally occurring, non-toxic, and environmentally responsible, offering industrial clients:
Reduced chemical processing requirements.
Lower environmental footprint by enabling efficient formulations with less material.
Applications in sensitive industries such as food & beverage, water treatment, and agriculture.
