About Diatomaceous Earth Powder

Diatomaceous Earth powder is a soft, siliceous, naturally occurring sedimentary rock powder, which is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It has a particle size ranging from less than 3 micrometres to more than 1 millimeter, but typically 10 to 200 micrometres. Depending on the granularity, this Diatomaceous Earth powder can have an abrasive feel, similar to pumice powder, and has a low density as a result of its high porosity. This is available at reasonable prices.

Other details:

The typical chemical composition of oven-dried diatomaceous earth is 80 to 90% silica, with 2 to 4% alumina (attributed mostly to clay minerals) and 0.5 to 2% iron oxide.[1]
Diatomaceous earth consists of fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae.
It is used as a filtration aid, mild abrasive in products including metal polishes and toothpaste, mechanical insecticide, absorbent for liquids, matting agent for coatings, reinforcing filler in plastics and rubber, anti-block in plastic films, porous support for chemical catalysts, cat litter, activator in blood clotting studies, and a thermal insulator.

High Performance in Filtration and Absorption

Diatomaceous Earth Powder excels as a filtration and absorbent agent due to its fine particle size and high oil absorption capacity. Whether for water treatment or industrial uses, its amorphous structure and low toxicity make it ideal for safe and efficient processes, ensuring contaminant removal and enhancing product purity.

Safe and Versatile Applications

As a non-toxic and biodegradable powder, DE serves multiple industriesincluding pest control, food processing, and polishing. Its broad application, from insecticide to industrial filler, leverages its neutral pH, high purity, and inert physical chemistry, making it safe for human use and environmentally responsible.

FAQs of Diatomaceous Earth Powder:

Q: How should Diatomaceous Earth Powder be stored for optimal shelf life?

A: Store Diatomaceous Earth Powder at room temperature in a dry area, using the original sealed 25 kg or 50 kg bags to maintain quality. Under these conditions, the shelf life ranges from 1 to 2 years.

Q: What makes Diatomaceous Earth Powder suitable for filtration and absorbent applications?

A: Its fine particle distribution (10100 m), high oil absorption, and porous, amorphous structure enable efficient filtration and absorption, helping to remove impurities and trap contaminants in water treatment or industrial processes.

Q: When is Diatomaceous Earth Powder safe to use in food or household environments?

A: This powder is non-toxic, odorless, free from hazardous silica, and completely biodegradable. As such, both industrial and food-grade variants are safe for household and food applications, provided the packaging specifies the appropriate grade.

Q: Where is Diatomaceous Earth Powder commonly used?

A: DE is frequently utilized in water filtration, pest control, food additive applications, polishing, and as an industrial filler in various manufacturing sectors. It is widely exported and traded from India to global markets.

Q: What process ensures the purity and safety of Diatomaceous Earth Powder?

A: The powder undergoes thorough sieving with 99% passing through 325 mesh and is refined to contain less than 1% free silica, ensuring an 85% purity while maintaining non-toxicity and environmental safety standards.

Q: What benefit does Diatomaceous Earth Powder provide in pest control?

A: DE acts as a natural insecticide by damaging the exoskeletons of insects through its fine, abrasive particles. This leads to dehydration and pest elimination without harmful chemicals, making it ideal for safe domestic and agricultural use.
