Product Details

Diatomaceous Earth / Diatomite for Agriculture and Hydroponics

Product Description

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

Chemcial Composition of diatomite:

Product Type	SiO2	Al2O3	Fe2O3	CaO	Loss on ignition
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

We also provide expanded clay which can be used for Hydroponics.

Usage

Use in Agriculture

Natural freshwater diatomaceous earth is used in agriculture for grain storage as an anticaking agent, as well as an insecticide.It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a feed additive to prevent caking.

Use in Hydroponics

Freshwater diatomite can be used as a growing medium in hydroponic gardens.

It is also used as a growing medium in potted plants, particularly as bonsai soil. Bonsai enthusiasts use it as a soil additive, or pot a bonsai tree in 100% diatomaceous earth. Like perlite, vermiculite, and expanded clay, it retains water and nutrients, while draining fast and freely, allowing high oxygen circulation within the growing medium.
