When it comes to sourcing attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth (DE), reliability, quality, and cost-effectiveness are top priorities for any business. Whether you're in the agricultural, industrial, or environmental sectors, the materials you choose can make or break the effectiveness of your products or processes. If you're an existing user of these minerals, it might be time to reconsider where you're sourcing your supply.


The Case for Australian Attapulgite Clay and Diatomaceous Earth

Australia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think about attapulgite clay or diatomaceous earth. However, the country offers distinct advantages for those looking for high-quality raw ores that consistently deliver results in industrial applications. Here’s why Australian attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth should be your next go-to source.


1. Stable and Reliable Supply from Western Australia

One of the biggest concerns for businesses relying on attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth is supply chain stability. Global events, such as natural disasters, economic shifts, or trade disruptions, can often affect the availability of these essential raw materials. In particular, attapulgite and diatomaceous earth can sometimes face supply issues from regions that experience volatility or logistical bottlenecks.


Australia, and specifically Western Australia, has stable mining operations, a strong infrastructure, and established trade routes. With a history of successful mineral extraction, Australia can offer a consistent supply of attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth without the uncertainties often associated with sourcing from other parts of the world.


At Hudson, we pride ourselves on our reliable supply chain, ensuring that customers receive high-quality ore in the quantity they need, when they need it.

2. High-Quality Raw Ore for Diverse Applications

Both attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth are used across a range of industrial applications, including soil enhancement, pest control, filtration, and water treatment. The quality of the raw ore directly impacts the effectiveness of these applications.


  • Attapulgite clay is a versatile absorbent material, ideal for soil conditioning, oil spill clean-ups, and as a carrier for agricultural products. Australian attapulgite is known for its purity, consistency, and high adsorption capacity.


  • Diatomaceous earth, on the other hand, is widely used in insecticides, filters, and animal feed additives. Our freshwater diatomaceous earth has a superior porous structure, making it ideal for pest control and filtration applications where high-quality mineral content is required for optimum performance.


At Hudson, we offer premium-grade products from our Western Australian reserves, which are tested to meet international standards and ensure the highest performance in all industrial applications.


3. Cost-Effective Alternative with Custom Solutions

While sourcing from traditional suppliers in regions like the U.S. or Europe may seem convenient, there are often hidden costs such as transportation fees, international tariffs, and longer lead times that can impact your bottom line.

Hudson offers a cost-effective alternative, with Australian-sourced attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth that come with competitive pricing and a lower environmental footprint due to the proximity of our mining operations to key shipping routes.

Additionally, we understand that each customer’s needs are unique. That’s why we work closely with our clients to provide customised specifications for both attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth. Whether you require a specific particle size, purity level, or functional properties, we can tailor our product offerings to meet your exact requirements.


4. Eco-Friendly Mining and Sustainability

As industries and consumers increasingly look to align their operations with sustainable practices, sourcing attapulgite clay and diatomaceous earth from a country that values environmental responsibility is crucial. Australia is known for its commitment to eco-friendly mining practices and environmental sustainability.

Hudson operates with strict adherence to environmental regulations and best practices, ensuring that our mining activities have minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystems.
