Activated Clay for Sale
Our Activated Clay Desiccant is processed through high-temperature activation to create a porous structure capable of capturing water molecules via physical adsorption.
Sustainable & Biodegradable: Unlike synthetic silica gel, activated clay is a 100% natural mineral. It can be disposed of in regular waste or returned to the soil without environmental impact.
Stable Adsorption Profile: It maintains a high adsorption rate even at low humidity levels, making it ideal for long-term storage of electronics and precision instruments.
Non-Corrosive & Chemically Inert: The neutral pH ensures that the desiccant does not react with metals or fabrics, even if it comes into direct contact with the goods.
Cost-Efficiency: Activated clay offers a more economical moisture-control solution for large-scale industrial packaging without compromising on performance.
What is Activated Clay Used for
For Oil & Fat Refining: It acts as a highly effective adsorbent for decolorizing and purifying edible oils, animal fats, and mineral oils.
In Chemical Processing: It serves as a catalyst, catalyst carrier, or purifying agent in various petrochemical and organic synthesis processes.
For Environmental Remediation: It is used to treat industrial wastewater, particularly for removing oils, organic contaminants, and heavy metals.
As a Desiccant: It functions as a drying agent to absorb moisture and protect products in packaging and storage.
In Cosmetics & Personal Care: It is utilized as an absorbent and viscosity modifier in products like facial clays and powders.
FAQ of Activated Clay
Activated clay is more environmentally friendly and is generally more effective in low-humidity environments. However, silica gel absorbs more moisture at high humidity (relative humidity > 80%). For most standard transport conditions (relative humidity 20%-40%), activated clay is a more sustainable and cost-effective option.
Yes. Since Activated Clay is made of natural montmorillonite clay, it is non-toxic and non-reactive. However, it should not be ingested.
Yes. Activated clay can be regenerated by heating it at approximately 120°C for several hours to remove adsorbed moisture. However, to ensure consistency in industrial production, it is generally recommended to use new activated clay bags.
Our desiccants meet MIL-D-3464E (military standard), DIN 55473 standards, and comply with REACH and RoHS regulations, ensuring their safe export worldwide.
This product is standardly supplied in 30kg bags.
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Bags must be kept tightly sealed on pallets and protected from moisture, direct sunlight, and any liquid spillage.
