Diatomite Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Diatomite is a type of naturally occurring siliceous sedimentary rock, it is a chalk-like, soft, earthy, fine-grained mineral that mainly occurs in white colour. It is a chemically inert substance in most of the liquid and gases and its physical attributes also include excellent porosity and low density. Due to its low thermal conductivity and high fusion point, diatomite is widely used as filler in various end-uses.

Global Diatomite Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand of diatomite in several sectors

The diatomite has several product characteristics, such as high absorptivity, light weight and high porosity due to this diatomite use in several application in numerous sectors such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, chemicals, sealants, adhesives, paints, plastics, and paper.
