About Diatomaceous Earth (Raw)
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a naturally occurring siliceous sediment composed of fossilized diatom shells, containing 80–90% amorphous silica. Industrial applications include filtration media for beverages and pharmaceuticals, abrasive components in polishes and toothpastes, and anti-caking agents in agricultural products. Raw DE is traded in two primary forms: food-grade (calcined, <1.5% iron oxide) and industrial-grade (natural, higher iron content). Major producers include the United States, Mexico, China, and Chile, with significant exports from North America and Europe. Buyers should verify the diatomite source locality and calcination method, as these directly affect purity levels, filtration efficiency, and suitability for food-contact applications versus industrial uses.
