Kleensorb soaks up oils and all liquid chemicals and also rapidly reduces the evolution of any toxic fumes from the spill. In Europe, where the total market for industrial spillage absorbents is about 150,000 tonnes per annum, diatomite is the most popular absorbent in use. The calcining process both dries and hardens the diatomite but it retains its structural integrity. Even when crushed, the material will not release the absorbed fluid or become slippery, making it appropriate for use on roads, in garages and factories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLANDSCAPING AND RECREATION.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKleensorb or our raw uncalcined product Purasil is used as a soil additive.

The bubbles in the matrix are brought about by rapid cooling and depressurisation when the lava is ejected from the volcano. Pumice provides an ideal balance between water-holding capacity and air-filled porosity, allowing aerobic conditions around roots while containing an adequate supply of water. The high surface area is ideal for root hairs to penetrate and gain good anchorage for stable plants. Our pumice is mined in the beautiful North Island of New Zealand, from a site near Lake Taupo, and it is characterised by its relative hardness and lightweight in comparison to competing aggregates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUse pumice for Orchid mixes, grades 7-20, which is particularly well suited for orchid cultivation, providing the balance of air and water combined with long life. Pumice will not rot or break down; it is less likely to wash out of the pot. For propagation, use the smaller grades 1-2 and 1-7. Hardwood cuttings can be stuck in 100% pumice. The variation in particle sizes allows excellent basal contact for the supply of water, yet the porosity maintains aerobic conditions around the newly formed roots. Slow-rooting species such as Conifers, Maples and camellias are particularly well suited to propagation in pumice. Cacti and Succulents need to be planted in an open and well-drained potting mix; pumice is ideal for this purpose. Mix 30% pumice with your preferred organic substrates.

A common mix might be a 50\/50 mixture of bark and perlite. This combination keeps the roots well aerated and prevents waterlogging, a condition to which orchids are particularly sensitive.
