What is diatomite
|
|||||||||||||
Diatomite is the skeletal remains of single celled plants called
diatoms, hence the name diatomite. These microscopic algae have the
capability of extracting silica from water to produce their
skeletal structure. When diatoms die their skeletal remains sink to
the bottom of lakes and oceans and form a diatomite deposit.
Natural diatomite is mined from deposits, that were formed millions
of years ago, that were once lake and ocean bottoms. Silica (sand)
is the most abundant compound on the earths crust. Natural
diatomite is comprised of 85% silica the balance being other inert
oxides. Natural diatomite is odorless and nontoxic. It is a soft powdery
mineral with the consistency of powdered chalk or flour, thus the
name fossil flower. For over 100 years there have been numerous
uses of diatomite. The simplest use that we have found is as
natural abrasive cleanser for your stainless steel kitchen sink.
