An additive formulated for blending with conventional absorbent materials to produce agglomerization upon the introduction of moisture. The invention also comprises mixtures of the additive with the conventional absorbent materials. The additive itself comprises: a polysaccharide, such as a galactomannan gum; a borate compound for use as a cross-linking agent; a dicarboxylic acid in order to acidify the pH of the composition; and preferably a flow control element such as silica. A dust control element may also be added to control dust during the mixing process.
