O le faamamaina o le eleele o le diatomaceous o se laasaga autu i le faʻatuatuaina ma le faifai pea o le gaosiga o suauʻu fualaau faisua, suauʻu meaʻai, ma meaʻai faʻapitoa.

O fesoasoani fa'amama eleele diatomaceous e mama i le mamafa, e fa'agata fa'ama'i, ma fai ai keke fa'amama maualuga e fa'atumauina le tafe fua o le vai.Aemaise lava, o se fesoasoani faamama lelei e faʻaalia i mea nei:

O le fausaga o fasimea e tatau ona fa'apea e le fa'apipi'i fa'atasi, ae o le a fausia ai ni keke e 85% i le 95% pore space.E le gata ina fa'atagaina ai le maualuga o fua faatatau muamua, ae maua ai fo'i avanoa pupuni e maileia ma fa'amauina ai mea fa'amama fa'amama ae tu'u ai se pasene maualuga o alavai e tatala mo le tafe.
