Filter Aids:
The most important use relative of high-quality diatomite is as a filtering media.
Their filtering qualities are used in beer and wine making, pharmaceutical manufacturing, motor oil processing, and to filter swimming pool water.
Absorbents:
Due to such characteristics as porosity and high surface area, diatomite is highly absorbent and is very useful in the clean-up of spills in the automotive,
industrial and waste industries.
Soil Amendments:
When diatomite is incorporated into soil, it serves to reduce compaction, and increase water and air permeation. It also increases plant available water,
firms soggy soils, loosens hard to work soils, provides better drainage, aids in nutrient transfer, and improves root growth. In such applications as
golf courses, and other landscaped areas it helps absorb and hold water, reducing the amount of water used.

Natural Insecticide:
When insects come in contact with diatomaceous earth, it absorbs their protective wax coating and their
shells are damaged by the glassy diatoms. This combination causes them to die by dehydration. There is no survival and no built-up immunity as there
is with chemical insecticides. Also, it does not break down as chemicals do.
