Bleaching Clay

CelaClear™ Bleaching Clays are high-performance activated adsorbents engineered for the purification of edible oils and biodiesel purification. Our portfolio includes a range of activated bentonite bleaching clays, traditionally referred to as Fuller’s Earth, designed to optimise adsorption efficiency, filtration performance, and oil yield.  

Ensuring edible oil remains stable and within the required specifications by removing colour, metal traces and undesired organoleptic properties.
Product Grades:

CelaClear 160 

A high performance activated adsorbent engineered to be cost-effective for moderate to easy-to-bleach feedstocks, while demonstrating strong performance on challenging to bleach fatty oils. 

CelaClear 115FF 

A newly developed activated adsorbent characterized by fast filtration rates combined with excellent bleaching performance. 

CelaClear F-100 

A neutral to basic montmorillonite activated absorbent offering excellent absorbency and binding strength. 

Benefits include:
  • Free from HCl or any chlorine containing materials 
  • Prevents formation of  3MCPD (3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol), GE (Glycidyl Esters) and potential carcinogenic molecules
  • Higher efficiency of colour removal due to activation by acid immersion
  • Less likely to lead to spontaneous combustion compared to other bleaching clays on the market
  • Reduces the load on downstream processes like the deodorizer
Applications:

Removes (from oil):

  • Chlorophyl (green pigments) 
  • Carotenoids (red pigments) 
  • Metal traces 
  • Unwanted tastes & flavours 

Contributes to:

  • Oil stability  
  • Organoleptic customer requirements (colour, taste, smell, stability)
