Dialose® products are a pre-blended, easy-to-use filter aid product composed of high quality, Celatom® diatomaceous earth (DE) and Pre-co-Floc® cellulose fibers. This filter aid blend is ideal for extending filter septum life and repairing small problems quickly until they can be permanently repaired or replaced. Dialose can also strengthen the stability of the cake in troublesome applications to prevent cracking and loss of cake on the septum during the filtration process. The cellulose fibers also add mechanical strength to the DE to resist pressure bumps and interruptions as well as extending filtration cycle lengths to maximize throughput.
