Australian Diatomaceous Earth
What is Diatomaceous Earth – Amorphous Silica?​
​
​Diatomaceous Earth (DE) or Amorphous Silica is the fossilized remains of Diatoms (a prehistoric phytoplankton). Diatoms extract silica from the water as it is essential to their survival. When the Diatoms die, they sink to the bottom of water ways leaving behind their silica rich skeletons. Our DE is not commercially heat treated rather naturally dried. This keeps the full integreity of the diatoms.
​
​Diatomaceous Earth is a totally natural and organic product which is suitable for use on certified organic enterprises. In Animal Health, in Agriculture and Building/Manufacturing Industry.
​​
Our Australian mined DE comes in 4 different grades, Super Fine, 2-4mm Poultry, Fine-8mm and 2-8mm.
