? ? ? ? ? ??Diatomaceous Earth / Calcined Diatomite For Absorbent , Filler and Mild Abrasive
?
?
?
Diatomite is a friable light-colored sedimentary rock?that is mainly composed of the siliceous skeletal remains of diatoms. It is a very porous rock with a fine particle size and a low specific gravity. These properties make it useful as a filter media, an absorbent, and as a lightweight filler for rubber, paint, and plastics.
?
Main Size of Diatomite as follows:
Granular:0.2-0.8mm,0.6-1.6mm,1-3mm,3-6mm,5-10mm,8-11mm,15-30mm,
Powder:60-100mesh,300mesh
?
Characteristic:
- Small particle size
- High porosity
- High surface area
- Relatively inert siliceous composition
- Low specific gravity
Chemical Composition of diatomite
Product Type | SiO2 | Al2O3 | Fe2O3 | CaO | |
10# | 85.60 | 4.50 | 1.50 | 0.52 | 4.60 |
20#-30# | 89.50 | 4.80 | 1.40 | 0.52 | 0.25 |
300#-1200# | 88.90 | 4.70 | 1.38 | 0.52 | 0.25 |

Absorbent
If dry diatomaceous earth is placed on a liquid spill, it can absorb and hold an amount of liquid equivalent to its own weight. This absorption facilitates containment, cleanup, and removal. Capillary action of liquids into diatomaceous earth is enhanced by its small particle size, high surface area, and its high porosity.
These same properties make diatomaceous earth able to absorb skin oils when used in cosmetics and facial masks. Diatomaceous earth is an absorbent ingredient of some kitty litters. It is also used as a soil treatment to absorb and hold water.
?
Filler
Diatomaceous earth is used as a lightweight, inert filler in some manufactured products. It is added to paint as a whitening agent and extender. It is added to plastics as a lightweight filler. It is used as a filler and anti-stick agent in asphalt shingles. It is used as a filler and to improve adhesion resistance in many rubber products.
?
Mild Abrasive
Diatomaceous earth is used as a mild abrasive in some toothpastes, facial scrubs, and metal polishes. Its silica particles are small, friable, have a high surface area, and are angular in shape. These are properties that help it perform well as a mild abrasive.
