Product Description
Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade - Natural Filter Aid, Insecticide, Absorbent for Spills
Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is a naturally occurring, biogenic siliceous sedimentary rock formed from fossilized skeletal remains of diatoms (single-celled aquatic algae). This versatile product appears as a white, off-white, or light yellow lightweight powder with exceptional physical properties including porous structure (80-90% porosity), high specific surface area, strong adsorption capacity, excellent chemical stability, low density, and low hardness.
Core Applications & Industries
Precision Filtration Solutions
As a premier filter aid in food, beverage, and chemical processing, diatomaceous earth ensures high-clarity filtration for:
- Beer, wine, fruit juices, and syrup production
- Edible oils and beverage clarification
- Chemical liquids including solvents and paints
Processed through calcination or flux-calcination, DE efficiently captures micron to sub-micron particles, yeast cells, proteins, and colloids while maintaining high flow rates with minimal resistance.
Environmental & Agricultural Applications
Leveraging its massive surface area and adsorption capabilities:
- Industrial wastewater treatment for heavy metal ions and organic dyes
- Oil spill absorption and containment
- Indoor air purification for formaldehyde and odor control
- Natural physical insecticide for agricultural and storage pest management
- Pesticide and fertilizer carrier for improved dispersion
Building Materials & Industrial Fillers
The porous structure provides exceptional thermal and functional properties:
- Thermal insulation in calcium silicate boards, insulating bricks, and fireproof panels
- Wall insulation mortars with fire-resistant and sound-absorbing qualities
- Functional coating filler for humidity regulation and air purification
- Cement and concrete additive enhancement
Additional Specialized Uses
- Personal care products including facial masks and toothpaste
- Mild polishing agent for metals and automotive finishes
- Catalyst support in chemical reactions
- Pet litter deodorizer for moisture and ammonia control
- Explosive stabilizer in dynamite formulations
Product Specifications & Grading
Diatomaceous earth is classified based on processing method (raw, calcined, flux-calcined), color, particle size distribution, pH, permeability, bulk density, and impurity content.
| Grade Type | Key Requirements | Primary Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Food Grade Filter Aid | Strict standards for heavy metals, microorganisms, loss on ignition | Beverage, food processing, pharmaceutical filtration |
| Insecticidal Grade | Emphasis on particle sharpness and adsorption capacity | Agricultural pest control, storage protection |
| Industrial Grade | Varied specifications based on application needs | Environmental, construction, manufacturing |
Safety & Usage Guidelines
Dust Protection: Fine particles may irritate respiratory systems. Use appropriate masks during handling to prevent prolonged exposure.
Food Grade Certification: Products for food and beverage applications must comply with FDA and GB 14936 standards to ensure product safety and quality.
Insecticidal Application: Requires dry environmental conditions for optimal effectiveness, as moisture reduces physical insecticidal properties.
