Diatomaceous earth has impressive qualities and applications, and when used as an absorbent, its qualities are especially noteworthy. Holding up to the equivalent of its weight in fluid, it facilitates the containment, cleanup, and removal of liquids, from chemical spills to pet waste. And once absorbed, the liquid will not be released, ensuring a quick and safe cleanup.

Where Diatacomeous Earth Is Used as An Absorbent

Many industries use diatomaceous earth as an absorbent for safety and cleanup reasons.

• Machine Shops: around screw machines, mills, drill presses, punch presses or die casting machines, wherever there is an oil spill on floors
• Mechanic Shops: services stations, grease racks or grease pits, on driveways or floors where oil, grease, or gasoline could cause accidents
• Around Diesel Motors: fuel tanks, pumps or mixers, where oil, grease, or fuel may drip or leak on the floor or other surfaces
• Restaurants: on kitchen floors or to pick up food spills and prevent slips
• Packaging Plants: elevator pits, cold storage areas where melting ice cause slippery floors or ramps, textile mills, food plants, and breweries
• Pet Shops: pet waste cleanup
• Ships: around winches, fueling connections, engine room ladders, and floors, providing a clean, non-skid surface for decks and ladders
