We offer Silicon Diatomite Supercel in powder. It is a mineral of vegetable origin. - details see: https://www.machineto.com/diatomite-super-cel-10216114

It is a mineral of vegetable origin. It represents the accumulation of an enormous number of fossil diatoms. Diatomite is called miraculous mineral because of its lightness, porosity and its uniquely honeycomberd structure which makes it an ideal filtering medium. And because of its inherent stability and the absence of most trace elements, Diatomite is ideal for use by processor who have very high purity requirements such as the food, beverages and pharmaceutical industries, etc.

SPECIFICATION OF DIATOMITE SUPERCEL (540)

Diatomite supercel is produced by Clacination of material along with flux at 1100-C to 1200-C.This produces each coated Particle for clear & high rate of flow for filtration.
