About Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth is a soft, crumbly sedimentary rock. It is a form of algae and the fossilised remains that make up the substance. Our offering serves as an abrasive, an absorbent, and a filtering aid among other things. It can also be used in gardening to better drainage and control pests. Diatomaceous earth is applied to clean drinking water of undesirable substances. Moreover, it is used as a filler or to stop lumps from forming in pet litter, paint, medication, and plastics.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Diatomaceous Earth's unique properties make it a preferred choice for filtration, abrasives, insulation, absorbents, and pest control. Its high purity and stable chemical nature lend exceptional effectiveness across multiple sectors, providing reliable performance for manufacturers and end-users alike.

Quality Packaging and Shelf Life

To preserve its integrity, Diatomaceous Earth is supplied in secure bags or sacks, ensuring minimal contamination and easy handling. The product boasts a shelf life of two years when stored properly, maintaining its functional properties for extended periods. Its off-white to white appearance ensures consistent quality standards.

FAQ's of Diatomaceous Earth:

Q: How is Diatomaceous Earth used in industrial filtration processes?

A: Diatomaceous Earth acts as a natural filter media due to its porous structure, effectively trapping impurities in liquids during filtration. Its high purity and insolubility in water enhance filtration efficiency in beverage, chemical, and water treatment applications.

Q: What benefits does Diatomaceous Earth offer for pest control?

A: When used for pest control, Diatomaceous Earth physically damages the exoskeletons of insects, causing dehydration. Its odorless and non-toxic nature makes it a safe option for homes, agriculture, and storage facilities, without leaving chemical residues.

Q: When should Diatomaceous Earth be replaced for optimal filtration performance?

A: For best results in filtration, it is recommended to monitor system flow and filtration efficiency regularly. Replacing Diatomaceous Earth should be done when noticeable clogging or reduced filtration efficiency occurs, which depends on process variables and contamination levels.

Q: Where is Diatomaceous Earth supplied from and what is the packaging type?

A: Diatomaceous Earth is exported from India by reputed manufacturers and suppliers. The supplier offers the product in strong bags or sacks, optimizing storage and transportation requirements and protecting product quality during shipment.

Q: What is the process for ordering Diatomaceous Earth from a supplier in India?

A: To order Diatomaceous Earth, contact an exporter or manufacturer in India, specify your required quantity (minimum order is 1 metric ton), and confirm product specifications including CAS number 61790-53-2 and HS Code 25120000. Orders are typically packed in bags or sacks for shipment.

Q: How does the appearance and purity of Diatomaceous Earth contribute to its industrial use?

A: Its white powder form and high purity of 99% ensure consistent performance across applications like filtration, insulation, abrasives, and absorbents. Uniform appearance and quality make it suitable for large-scale manufacturing and processing.
