Magnesium aluminum silicate - inorganic gel
　　Magnesium aluminum silicate possesses multiple properties such as thickening, suspending, stabilizing, and adsorption, and is widely used in various industries. Specific applications are as follows:
　 　Cosmetics Industry: Used as a thickener, suspending agent, and stabilizer in products such as lotions, creams, shampoos, and toothpaste. It can increase product viscosity, resulting in a uniform and delicate texture, preventing layering and sedimentation. It can also absorb skin oil, providing oil control and cleansing effects. When compounded with other gels, it can enhance the efficacy of organic gels and improve product performance.
　　 Pharmaceutical Industry: It can be used as a drug carrier, suspending agent, stabilizer, binder, disintegrant, etc., and is applied to oral suspensions, external ointments, tablets, pills, granules, films, and capsule coatings. It can stabilize emulsions and suspensions, making the drug appearance smooth and disintegration rapid, achieving controlled release of active ingredients. It can also be used as a decolorizing agent for traditional Chinese medicine.
　　 Food Industry: It is often used as an anti-caking agent, stabilizer, and thickener in powdered foods such as salt and sugar to prevent caking; added to yogurt, jams, and salad dressings to increase product viscosity and stability, improve texture and taste, and extend shelf life.
　　 Pesticide Industry: Used as an adjuvant in pesticide formulations, especially water-based formulations, its suspending, stabilizing, and thickening properties make the pesticide system more uniform, preventing the aggregation and hardening of active ingredient particles and avoiding water separation and sedimentation.
　　 Paint and Coating Industry: It is an excellent suspending agent and thickener that prevents pigment sedimentation. It forms an associative network structure in aqueous media, improving the stability and storage properties of coatings, improving coating rheology, making application more uniform, and enhancing film-forming properties.
　　 Building Materials Industry: It can be used in putty, gypsum board, cement products, etc., to improve construction performance, enhance strength and stability; it is also used in the production of refractory bricks and fireproof boards to improve building fire resistance.
　　 Rubber and Plastics Industry: Used as a filler, reinforcing agent, and dispersant to improve the mechanical properties, processing properties, and heat resistance of rubber and plastics, making products more durable and processing smoother.
　　 Other Industries: Used as a suspending and thixotropic thickening agent in inks to ensure stable ink performance and prevent pigment sedimentation; used in polishing agents and lubricants to suspend abrasives and stabilize emulsion systems; it can also be used in the lithium battery field as an additive for related materials to improve battery performance, etc.
