Natural sedimentary rock / Patagonia
Built to perform
Engineered by nature
Natural Patagonian diatomite for cat litter and industrial programs, available from fine powder to coarse grain.
01 / Natural composition
The Patagonian deposit consists predominantly of biogenic diatomite with naturally occurring aluminosilicate minerals.
It is one naturally formed siliceous sedimentary rock—not a manufactured recipe or a fusion of separate ingredients. Its fossilized porous structure and chemical composition occur together within the deposit.
02 / Physical formats
From fine powder to coarser particle ranges, the format is selected around the application rather than forcing every buyer into one generic grade.
Fine natural format.
A fine grade of the same natural rock, prepared for application development, formulation work and programs that require consistent powder handling.
From fine to coarse.
The natural rock can be processed across multiple granulometries for cat litter, absorbent products and other application-specific programs.
Specification before packaging.
A B2B route built around the target application, particle-size profile, documentation, pack format and commercial channel.
03 / OMRI Listed® product
Natural mineral ingredient / animal nutrition
Natural diatomaceous earth for animal-feed programs.
The approved product label defines ADSORMIC® as a natural siliceous sedimentary rock used as an adsorbent mineral ingredient in animal feeds. It is one naturally occurring mineral material—not a manufactured blend.
04 / Commercial model
TecnoMinerals starts with the application, builds the physical and technical specification, and then defines the right supply and brand route.
05 / Application programs
Cat litter is the leading commercial application. The material remains the same natural rock; its particle-size format, qualification plan and presentation are defined for each use.
The core commercial application behind the Sol Minerales model. TecnoMinerals offers selected granular formats for mineral cat litter, with bulk supply and private-label routes for U.S. brands and distributors.
View programThe supplied technical sheet identifies absorbency as a principal use and reports typical oil absorption of 100–150 mL per 100 g. Final performance depends on grade, fluid and test method.
View programFiltration is a principal use identified in the technical sheet. Particle-size profile and process conditions are selected and validated for each filtration program.
View programFine and granular forms can be evaluated for application-specific programs in soils, agriculture and animal systems, subject to supporting data and the applicable U.S. regulatory path.
View programTechnical-sheet values are typical and are not a sales specification. Application performance must be supported by the relevant grade, laboratory method, use data and applicable U.S. regulatory requirements.
06 / Typical technical profile
The supplied technical sheet defines diatomite as a siliceous sedimentary rock composed mainly of fossilized diatom skeletons. Its average chemistry includes 68.83% SiO₂ and 10.83% Al₂O₃.
These values describe the composition of the naturally occurring rock. They do not describe separate ingredients added or fused by TecnoMinerals.
