description Product Description
Celite is widely used as a filtration aid in various industries, particularly in laboratories and manufacturing processes. Its high porosity and fine particle size make it effective for clarifying liquids by trapping fine particles and impurities. In the food and beverage industry, it is commonly employed to filter wine, beer, and oils, ensuring clarity and improving product quality. In chemical and pharmaceutical production, Celite aids in the separation of solids from liquids during the purification of compounds. Additionally, it serves as a support material for catalysts in chemical reactions, enhancing their efficiency. Its inert nature and thermal stability also make it suitable for use in high-temperature applications.
