Grainsave (TM) is the finest grade DE at an average 20um particle size.  This precision ground and dried, modified, highly amorphous, naturally occurring, mined Diatomaceous Earth carries APVMA approval # as an Insecticide  for described use in grain handling applications.   


DE100 is a precision ground (to 100um), highly amorphous, naturally occurring, mined DE product, that when suspended that will pass through liquid spray nozzles to (fertigation) or if used as a powder animal feed additive has a higher SA:Vol ratio (hence activity) than coarser grades for quicker action.  It's uses are varied across agriculture and other sectors.

DE300 has particle sizes ranging up to 300um.  This economical, highly amorphous, naturally occurring, mined DE product is typically used as a broad scale soil amendment either as a powder or suspended in liquid for application via large nozzle spreaders.

DE Chip has particle sizes from 2-8mm for easy spreading on broad-acre.  This economical, highly amorphous, naturally occurring, mined & graded DE product is generally used as a soil amendment alone or mixed.
