Reade Advanced Materials Diatomite Powder
Categories: Ceramic

Material Notes: Description: Diatomite is a sedimentary rock, white to light yellow in color, composed of the fossilized skeletons of diatoms, one celled algae-like plants which accumulated in marine or lacustrine environments. The honeycomb silica structures gives diatomite useful characteristics such as high absorptive capacity and surface area, chemical stability, and low bulk density.

Diatomite is principally used in filtration of various alcoholic beverages, sugar, oil, organic and inorganic chemicals, and water. It is also used as a filler in absorbents for pet litter and oil spills. Other uses are: pesticide carrier, roughness and flatting agent in paint; an anti-blocking agent in polyethylene film; a soft abrasive in silver and automotive polishes; or as bulk extender. Small amounts of diatomite are used as a thermal insulator and catalyst carrier.
Form Available: Fine grained powder
