About Diatomaceous Earth (Granular)
Diatomaceous earth (granular) is a sedimentary rock composed of fossilized diatom shells, primarily silicon dioxide, used extensively in filtration, insulation, abrasives, and as a food-grade anti-caking agent. The commodity trades in two main grades: food-grade (calcined, typically 90-95% SiO2) and industrial-grade (varies by application). Major producers include the United States, China, Mexico, and Denmark, with significant exports from these regions serving global markets. Buyers should verify calcination temperature and amorphous silica content, as crystalline silica presence increases occupational health risks and may affect regulatory compliance in food and pharmaceutical applications. Third-party testing documentation is essential for quality assurance.
