Diatomaceous earth as an abrasive, filter material and thermal insulator Diatomaceous has long been used as an abrasive in cleansers and was even used in tooth powders. Because of its small pore size and relative stability it has found a use as a filter material.
Read MoreDiatomaceous earth is used as a filtration aid, mild abrasive in products including metal polishes and toothpaste, mechanical insecticide, absorbent for liquids, matting agent for coatings, a stabilizing component of dynamite and a thermal insulator as it is a bad conductor of heat.
Read MoreIt is composed of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard shelled algae. It's also used as a filtration aid, as a mild abrasive, as a mechanical insecticide, as an absorbent for liquids, as cat litter, and as an activator in blood clotting studies. As it is also heat-resistant, it can be used as a thermal insulator
Read MoreDiatomaceous Earth has many practical uses in addition to pesticides. Diatomaceous Earth is most commonly used as a filtering agent, especially for swimming pools. It has also been used as a mild abrasive, an absorbent for liquids, cat litter, a component of dynamite, and a thermal insulator (due to its being heat resistant).
Read MoreDiatomaceous earth or diatomite is a light-colored sedimentary rock composed chiefly of siliceous shells (frustules) of diatoms. Diatomaceous earth is a soft and friable rock. It leaves hands dusty if touched and has a fragile feel as if it has a delicate and light-weight internal structure. This feeling is not misleading.
