Product Overview Pure-Flo® B80 by Oil-Dri is a naturally active bleaching and clarification adsorbent made from a unique intergrowth of hormite and smectite clays. Engineered for e dible oil refining, B80 delivers efficient removal of color bodies, soaps, phospholipids, and trace metals without mineral acid activation supporting high-quality, food-grade outputs and reliable filtration performance. Where it fits Edible oil refining: physical refining of palm, cottonseed, tallow, coconut, and other vegetable/animal oils Color reduction: effective decolorization for oils with moderate chlorophyll levels Gum/soap removal: reduces phospholipids and residual soaps to improve stability and yield Key advantages High adsorption of metals (P, Ca, Fe, Mg, Ni, etc.) for process reliability Strong removal of chlorophyll and other color bodies Efficient elimination of soaps and phospholipids Favorable filtration characteristics that support longer cycle times Helps minimize free fatty acid rise during bleaching GRAS status (FDA) for food-contact use Natural clay activity no mineral acid activation required Typical specifications Form Fine powder Free moisture (wt.% @ 105 °C) 15.5% pH (5% solids in DI water) 7.2 Tamped density 688.0 g/L (43.0 lb/ft³) Particle size 83% through 325 mesh (< 45 µm) Manufacturer Oil-Dri Corporation of America Product name Pure-Flo® B80 Lead time 1–2 weeks (confirmed at quote) Values are typical for reference.

Questions & Answers Q: What makes Pure-Flo® B80 “naturally active”?A: B80 relies on the intrinsic activity of its hormite–smectite clay structure, delivering bleaching performance without mineral acid activation. Q: Which impurities does B80 target in edible oils?A: Color bodies (e.g., chlorophyll), soaps, phospholipids, and trace metals such as P, Ca, Fe, Mg, and Ni. Q: Will B80 affect free fatty acids?A: It helps minimize FFA rise during the bleaching step compared with more aggressive adsorbents. Q: Is B80 suitable for food-contact applications?A: Yes Pure-Flo® B80 has GRAS status from the FDA. Q: What’s the typical lead time and minimum order?A: Lead time is usually 1–2 weeks, with a vendor MOQ of 908 kg; smaller sizes may be available on request.
