Product Description
Celite / Diatomite (CAS 61790-53-2)
Celite, also known as diatomaceous earth or diatomite, is a naturally occurring, soft sedimentary rock composed primarily of the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. This lightweight, porous material is widely used in filtration, as an absorbent, and in various industrial applications due to its unique physical and chemical properties.
