Diatomaceous earth diatomaceous Description Kieselgur (also known as diatomaceous earth or fossil flour) is a siliceous sedimentary rock of organic origin, obtained from the fossilized remains of microalgae of the Diatomaceae family. The raw material is extracted exclusively from freshwater lakes. The powder obtained by grinding diatoms has a light color and a consistency similar to talc. Its mineral composition is predominantly silicon, followed by other minerals such as aluminum, magnesium, iron, calcium and traces of potassium, manganese and titanium. How to use Use on potted plants, in the garden or in the field on crops: Dilute to 2.5-3% with water and spray on plants using manual or mechanical means. components Mineralogical composition: 100% amorphous silicon. Average chemical composition: silicon oxide (SiO2) 85.29%, aluminum oxide (AlO3) 5.36%, sodium oxide (NaO) 1.27%, ferric oxide (FeO4) 1.07%, magnesium oxide (MgO) 0.81%, sulfur trioxide (SO4) 0.8%, titanium dioxide (TiO2) 0.27%, calcium oxide (CaO) 0.23%, potassium oxide (KO2) 0.18%, phosphorus pentoxide (PO4) 0.09%. Raw material: diatomaceous earth from diatomaceous algae extracted exclusively from freshwater lakes, free of pollutants. warnings Avoid contact with eyes; product may cause mild eye irritation. May cause respiratory irritation; avoid inhalation of dust or mixture during application. Wash with soap and water after handling. Personnel administering or handling the powder should wear a respirator to protect against changes in dust and mixture during application (conforming to EN 149 FFP2).
