For fertilizer coating—Celite 379, a natural milled diatomite, provides the uniform conditioning needed to prevent caking of granular, mixed or prilled fertilizers—maintains good free-flow characteristics even after prolonged storage.

For catalyst carriers—
Super Floss, finest par ticle size flux-calcined Celite grade, is used where a non-reactive porous sil ica support is needed. (Also available: special Celite supports in many preformed shapes for strength, high tempera ture stability, resistance to abrasion and attrition.)
As α paint-flatting agent—
Celite 281, air-floated fines of flux-calcined dia tomite, provides uniform and efficient flatting at low cost. Contributes to control of low angular sheen, durability, and faster drying.

precision processing works for you
Celite diatomite absorbs its own weight of liquid · . . yet stays 7 dry y JNo matter which of the many avail able grades you choose, you can de pend on a given volume of inert Celite* to retain its typical dry-powder char acteristics even after absorbing its own weight of liquid. Actually, Celite can absorb a total of more than twice its own weight. That's because a mass of the fine skeletal particles is approximately
93% air space or voids. Yet, in spite of this very high porosity, Celite is essentially non-hygroscopic. Other unique properties—extremely high bulk, irregular particle shape and large available surface area— ideally suit Celite to hundreds of mineral filler applications. It is pro duced with precision from the world's purest commercially available dia
tomite deposit. It offers a wide choice of grades, each carefully controlled for complete uniformity. For technical data on specific min eral filler or filtration problems, talk to your nearby Celite engineer. Or write to Johns-Man ville, Box 14, New York 16, Ν. Υ.
