RADIOLITE – D.E FILTER POWDER (20kg)

RADIOLITE – D.E Filter Powder (20kg) is a high-quality diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filter powder used in various filtration applications. Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It is widely used for its filtration properties due to its high porosity and ability to remove fine particles from liquids.
