Diatomite / Kieselguhr

Diatomaceous earth is a natural, lightweight and porous mineral made of the fossilized remains of ancient algae, approximately 90% of its structure is porous.

Its high porosity provides excellent mechanical strength, natural filtration, and absorption capabilities. Because of these features, Celatom® diatomaceous earth products are known for their high-performance filtration and are ideal for a variety of functional additives applications.

These products are valued for their high filtration capacities, low densities, and extensive surface areas, making them suitable for use in many different industrial sectors.

Celatom® diatomaceous earth is sourced from mines in Nevada and Oregon. Once extracted, the material is processed and sorted to achieve the desired particle size, ensuring it's ready for various applications.
