At Hudson Diatomaceous Earth, our story begins deep in the freshwater lakes of Western Australia. Our AusDE (Australian Diatomaceous Earth) is sourced directly from Western Australian diatomaceous earth deposits, including the world-class Badgingarra freshwater formation, giving it naturally high purity and superior performance.
Freshwater Origins: Millions of Years in the Making
The Badgingarra region is one of Australia’s largest and most significant freshwater DE deposits. During the Miocene epoch (15–20 million years ago), expansive inland lakes supported thriving diatom populations—microscopic algae with siliceous skeletons. Over millennia, these skeletons accumulated, compacted, and fossilised, forming a sedimentary layer of premium AusDE with:
- High silica content – essential for absorption, filtration, and industrial applications
- Low contaminants – minimal salts, organics, and heavy metals due to freshwater origin
- Uniform particle morphology – ideal for consistent bulk supply performance
Why the Source Matters
While some suppliers focus on processing to create “premium” DE, the true quality comes from the source itself. Our AusDE sourced from Western Australian deposits is raw, unprocessed, and naturally high-quality, delivering intrinsic premium performance for bulk buyers.
Bulk Supply from Western Australian Deposits
Hudson maintains a 20,000 tonne stockpile of freshwater AusDE, ready for immediate dispatch. This bulk supply supports:
- Agriculture & horticulture – soil conditioning, pest control, crop safety
- Pet care & livestock – absorbent and non-toxic litter or bedding
- Filtration & water treatment – high-purity, uniform structure for industrial filtration
- Industrial applications – absorbent, filler, or processing aid in manufacturing
Advantages of Locally Sourced AusDE
- Australian reliability – sourced from Western Australia, supporting local logistics and reducing import delays
- Traceable origin – provenance guaranteed from known Western Australian deposits
- Large-scale bulk capability – ideal for industrial buyers requiring hundreds or thousands of tonnes
- Lab-tested specifications – silica, moisture, particle size distribution, and contaminant levels certified
