Acid Activated Bleaching Earth

Acid Activated Bleaching Earth is a highly refined adsorbent derived from bentonite clay, designed to remove impurities, pigments, oxidation by-products, and contaminants during the refining of edible and non-edible oils. MPCI’s Bleaching Earth is engineered for maximum adsorption efficiency, fast filtration, and minimal oil retention.

With superior performance in edible oils such as palm, soybean, sunflower, canola, and other vegetable oils, our Bleaching Earth also finds application in mineral oil purification, wax processing, and petroleum derivatives.

MPCI ensures consistent quality across all grades, offering improved clarity, reduced processing time, and enhanced yield for all refining operations.
