Fuller Earth (Multani Mitti)

Fuller’s Earth is a type of clay that has been used historically for various industrial and cosmetic purposes. It is known for its absorbent properties and has been mined and utilized in different parts of the world for centuries.

In the edible oil refining process, fuller’s earth is often used in the bleaching stage. During bleaching, the fuller’s earth adsorbs color pigments, impurities, and other unwanted substances from the oil, resulting in a clearer and lighter-colored product. This improves the appearance and quality of the edible oil.
Fuller’s earth can also be used in the refining of lube oils. It helps to remove contaminants such as dirt, heavy metals, and oxidation by-products from the oil, enhancing its purity and performance. This is particularly important in ensuring the lubricant’s effectiveness and longevity in machinery and engines.
In the refining of mineral oils, fuller’s earth plays a similar role in removing impurities and contaminants. This is crucial for producing high-quality mineral oils used in various applications such as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and cutting oils.
