Nova Industries provides high-quality raw Diatomaceous Earth (Diatomite) at a competitive price that you can process to your desired quality. Silica (SiO2) is the key ingredient that determines the quality of Diatomite. Ensure that you verify the product composition that other vendors are advertising.
Nova Industries’ Diatomaceous Earth researve is high quality enabling us to consistently provide product with SiO2 percentages that exceed 90%.
WHAT IS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH (DIATOMITE) USED FOR? Diatomite is High in Silica, Absorbent, Porous, Long Lasting, Environmentally Friendly, PH Neutral, Sterilized, Natural and Reusable, all factors necessary for health plants, while still being very effective for the grower. The use of diatomite depends chiefly on the size of diatoms and their structure.
THE MAIN USES ARE:
* As a filtering agent in clarification of alcoholic beverages, sugar, fruit juices, soft drinks, and oils.
* In heat and sound insulation informs of bricks.
* As a loose powder or lagging compounds.
* As a porous extender and flatting agent in certain paints.
* As a dusting agent to prevent caking of fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate.
* As a filler in lightweight concrete.
* Rubber goods, soap paper, and insecticides.
* In dry cleaning of fabrics
* As an additive in the manufacture of fireproof cement.
* As a carrier in insecticides and as a mild abrasive.
Average Raw product specification:
SiO2 - 93.88%, Al2O3 - 2.97%, Na2O - 0.85%, MgO - 0.17%, P2O5 - 0.03%, SO3 - 0.00%, Cl - 0.01%, K2O - 0.53%, CaO - 0.05%, TiO2 - 0.19%, MnO - 0.03%, Fe2O3 - 1.29% = TOTAL 100.00%
**The mentioned data of analysis just for reference, the actual result depends on physical material loaded. We can consistently provide product with SiO2 percentages that exceed 90%.
What Are the other Benefits of Using Diatomite?
- High silica content : Silica is essential for healthy plants and roots. While diatomite is approximately 85% insoluble silica, it contains a small but significant portion that is SOLUBLE SILICA. Silica is essential for healthy plants and roots. Your plant will receive from diatomite a slow release of diatomite resulting in healthier, more robust plants. Plant available silica has been shown in studies to stimulate SYNTHETIC AQUIRED RESISTANCE(SAR) in plants Which increase their resistance to diseases.
- Absorbency & porosity : Diatomite is naturally very porous and can hold 150% of its weight in water. The silica content, natural Absorbency, and porous qualities result in a slow release of water and nutrients to your plants, contributing to higher yields and less watering.
- Capillary Action and Lateral Movement : The porosity of Diatomite contributes to its ability to draw water while moving water and nutrients laterally throughout the medium, making Diatomite ideal for hydroponics!
- Air penetration : Diatomite is multifaceted and various in size. Because each rock is unique in shape it does not compact while in the pot. This leaves pockets allowing air to penetrate and circulate to the root zone.
- Sterilized, non- toxic, PH Neutral. : When is mined and it is treated to over 600 degrees Celsius, making it completely sterile and safe for all of your planting needs. Whether you are using 100% or you are adding it to a mix of your soil it will not contribute to changes in Ph.
- Environmentally friendly : Diatomite is a fossil, making it natural, safe and an Environmentally conscious alternative.
- Long Lasting Natural and reusable : Diatomite is inert and will not break down or decompose like other growing mediums. It is natural and completely reusable. When dry, diatomite is extremely lightweight, making it ideal for plant shipping purposes. Because it is reusable and long lasting, it is economical and cost effective for long term use.
