Floridin

Floridin was a prominent industrial company specializing in the mining and processing of fuller's earth, a type of attapulgite clay with significant applications in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. The company's products were widely utilized as pharmaceutical excipients, adsorbents for toxins, and active ingredients in antidiarrheal medications. Historically, Floridin's fuller's earth has been a critical medical intervention for the treatment of paraquat poisoning due to its high adsorptive capacity. Following a series of acquisitions, the company's operations and legacy brands were eventually integrated into BASF's specialty chemicals portfolio.
