Beschreibung

With our pure, amorphous diatomaceous earth, you will receive a product of the highest quality. Due to it´s SiO2 content of over 66%, our diatomaceous earth has excellent drying properties. Because of the high fineness of the product, it can be atomized or applied with a shovel, for example. Wet application, e.g. using a garden sprayer or brush, is also possible.

Our diatomaceous earth can be used in a wide variety of areas (e.g. as a versatile drying product, for stables, filler). It may not be used as a biocide due to the lack of a biocide listing. Diatomaceous earth is non-toxic and absolutely uncritical to handle when used normally, but it can create a lot of dust when applied. Therefore, please wear an effective mouth and nose cover.

Delivery within 24 hours (Mon-Fri).

Positive sides of our diatomaceous earth:
+ a pure natural product
+ high capillary adsorption capacity
+ no swelling and shrinking behavior
+ Chemically inert and non-toxic, absolutely uncritical under normal handling conditions
+ Binds 1.7 times its own weight in water and is therefore a strong and effective drying product
+ Ideal for creating a healthy and dry living environment
+ Due to our large purchasing volume, we can offer an outstanding price-performance ratio

Absorption capacity, water (modified BASF method): 163%

Average size distribution (weight):
under 20 μm: 65%
20 – 45 μm: 21%
45 – 80 μm: 14%
80 – 100 μm: 0,05%

Since diatomaceous earth is a natural product, the properties and values are subject to natural fluctuations.

 

Liquid application to avoid dust formation:
Our diatomaceous earth can also be applied as a water mixture to avoid dust formation and enable precise application. To do this, 1/3 diatomaceous earth powder must be mixed with 2/3 water. The mixture can then be applied with a brush or a spray bottle or garden sprayer with a coarse nozzle.

 

This diatomaceous earth is not listed as a biocide by the EU. Use as a biocide is therefore excluded.
