Where can I buy food grade Diatomaceous Earth in Canada?

Question

I've been searching for food grade DE but have only found some that are mixed with other insecticides. Does anyone know where I can purchase food-grade DE in Canada?

Answer 1

Agrogreen® Canada is in Fonthill.

Pool grade stuff has been baked and is no good to ingest

Two locations - Etobicoke & Pickering

Answer 3

You can buy Diatomaceous earth in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada at a store called Pro Grow Indoor Garden Supplies, located at 1710 Bishop St Unit 2.
I use it as a growing medium for my orchids. They have several size choices as well as the actual size of the compounds. The cost at the store is quite resonable.

Answer 4

Pool grade diatomaceous earth is not the same as food grade. It's used a lot as a supplement in livestock feed so you can try a local feed supplier or you can check this web site out http://www.diatomitecanada.com/fossil-shell-flour-diatomaceous-earth-animal.htm. I haven't really had any luck finding a local supplier since I'm in Toronto so I think I'll have to order it myself.

Dear sir

   I am Javad Abedi.
   I am counselor of a chemical plant that is producer of some chemicals such as White Oil (Liquid Paraffin).

   We want to produce a mineral oil (Paraffinic) in food grade with the specified analysis from our white oil products.

   We need to “Technical Knowledge “ of this process.

Some parameters of the process feed (the white oil ) is :
Flash point : Min. 190-200 degree Centigrade
Density at20 degree Centigrade : 0.82-0.83 gr/cm3
Kinematic viscosity : 20 cst
Pour point : - 15
Aromatic: < 1%

And some parameters of the desired food grade Paraffinic product is :
Viscosity @ 20  oC : 115 cst (min.)
Colure (APHA) : 10 (max.)
Flash point (open cup): 230 oC ( min.)
L.B.P. : 325 oC (min.)
L.B.P.@ 1 torr : 180 oC (min.)
Iodine Index: 6.2 (max.)
Ph after water wash: 5.0 (max.)
Volatility@240 oC,10mm-Hg 0:2.0% (max.)
U.V.260-400 mm Absorption <0.1
Carbon type analysis :
    CA : 0.0 %
    CN : 33 %
    CP : 67%
Food Grade in accordance with codex (French standard),British pharmacopoeia. (U.K.) or FOA para 172.878(U.S.A.)
