Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomite's high internal porosity (void volume typically 80–85% of total volume) allows it to absorb liquid active ingredients into its pore structure, holding them securely while presenting a dry, free-flowing surface. This creates granules with high active ingredient loading that release effectively upon soil or crop application.

Yes. Diatomite absorbs moisture that causes particle-to-particle adhesion (caking) in agrochemical powders. By maintaining a dry powder surface, it prevents caking during storage and transportation, ensuring consistent flowability and ease of measurement.

Diasilite White is a high-purity, calcined white diatomite grade processed to remove organic impurities. Its purity and inert nature make it suitable for use in agrochemical formulations. Specific regulatory compliance should be verified for the specific country of use.

For granule carrier applications, coarser diatomite particles (150–600 microns) are preferred to provide granule structure and strength. For anti-caking and powder applications, finer grades (below 45 microns) are used to maximise surface area for moisture absorption.

Yes. Diatomite is a natural, eco-friendly alternative to synthetic anti-caking agents. It provides comparable or superior moisture absorption and anti-caking performance for most agrochemical powder formulations without the regulatory concerns associated with synthetic chemical additives.
