Celatom FW-14 Diatomaceous Earth

Celatom Diatomaceous Earth FW 14, also known as "DE" or "DE Powder," is primarily a filter aid used in a variety of applications. Due to the porous inert, insoluble, structure, DE powder traps suspended impurities while permitting liquid to pass through. Beyond filtration diatomaceous earth like FW 14 is used as a filler in coatings and plastics, a carrier for chemicals, an insulating material, and as amild abrasive in polishes for example. Another important use is as a precoat in the filtration of industrial wastewater. It increases the solid contents of sludge and reduces the total volume of sludge that needs to be disposed. It can also be used in swimming pools as a filter aid.

DE powder also finds applications in making many beverages including beer and wine. The diatomaceous earth (DE) is widely used as a filter aid to remove impurities and achieve a clear, stable product.

Celatom FW-14 Diatomaceous Earth Filter White aid is manufactured and packaged by EP Minerals. DE Powder is regulated under TSCA and CERCLA in the Untied States, and under WHMIS Classification internationally.
