Hudson Resources supplies Australian-sourced diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay, providing versatile solutions for a wide range of industrial, agricultural, and domestic applications. Both minerals are naturally occurring, sustainable, and mined with minimal processing, making them ideal raw materials for numerous end uses.
What is Diatomaceous Earth?
Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring sedimentary mineral, composed of fossilized diatoms. Its key properties include high porosity, absorbency, and inert chemistry, making it valuable in:
Industrial absorbents: Spills, chemical containment, and refinery waste management
Animal health and pet care: Odour control in livestock bedding, chicken coops, and pet areas
Filtration media: Water treatment, beer and wine clarification, and other liquid purification processes
Agriculture and horticulture: Soil conditioning, moisture retention, and pest deterrence
Diatomaceous earth is safe, eco-friendly, and versatile, allowing applications across industries without introducing toxic chemicals.
What is Attapulgite Clay?
Attapulgite clay is a naturally occurring magnesium aluminum silicate with a unique fibrous structure, giving it high adsorption and thickening properties. It is ideal for:
Soil conditioning: Enhances water retention in sandy soils and improves nutrient holding capacity
Industrial applications: Spill absorption, thickening agents, and cement/concrete additives
Animal health: Odour control and moisture binding in livestock bedding
Environmental applications: Landfill liners, liquid containment, and industrial waste management
Attapulgite clay can be used alone or blended with diatomaceous earth to create products that combine absorption, moisture retention, and odour control.
End Use Applications – Why Choose Raw Minerals
Using raw diatomaceous earth or attapulgite clay allows manufacturers, farmers, and industrial operators to:
Custom-blend products for specific needs
Maintain control over mineral purity and particle size
Reduce reliance on chemical additives for odour control, moisture management, or filtration
Support sustainable Australian mining with low environmental impact
