CELITE 263 is a high purity diatomaceous earth product characterised by its great bulk per unit weight, high absorptive capacity, chemical inertness and unique diatom structure. These properties of CELITE 263 make it suitable for use as a functional additive and filler. It can absorb oils and release air easily, acting as a defoamer and deaerator. CELITE 263 also has high insulation properties and resistance to heat transfer, making it useful in applications where thermal insulation is required. The fine particle size and high surface area of CELITE 263 allows it to blend easily into formulations. It is non-abrasive and will not damage machinery during processing. CELITE 263 is widely used as a functional additive and filler, helping to improve various performance properties of end products.
