Diatomaceous earth

Product Description

Diatomaceous Earth is a naturally occurring siliceous sedimentary mineral composed of fossilized diatoms. It appears as a fine white to light gray powder with high porosity and adsorption capacity.

Key Features & Advantages

  • High surface area
  • Excellent filtration capability
  • Chemically inert
  • Lightweight and highly porous
