WHAT IS WHITE LAKE DIATOMACEOUS EARTH®?
White Lake Diatomaceous Earth® (WLDE) is a natural grade (uncalcined), that comes from a pure DE deposit. This pure, freshwater diatomaceous earth is composed of Food Chemical Codex Grade DE made of amorphous silica (the good kind of silica). WLDE contains a naturally pure form of amorphous silicon dioxide (Si02) that contains calcium, magnesium, and other beneficial trace mineral oxides.
White Lake Diatomaceous Earth® is registered for use as an inert carrier or anti-caking agent in animal feeds in an amount not to exceed two percent (2%) by weight of total ration.
ABOUT OUR DIATOMACEOUS EARTH DEPOSIT
The area just outside of Vale, Oregon is home to our White Lake Diatomaceous Earth® DE deposit.
Our White Lake Earth pure diatomaceous earth deposit contains a variety of fossilized Melosira species of freshwater diatoms, with a greater number of pores per diatom, and hence greater pore volume. This species of diatom provides significant absorbent qualities.
