What is diatom mud? What are the main raw materials?

Diatom mud uses diatomite as the main raw material and is a natural and environmentally friendly interior wall decoration material. Used to replace wallpaper and latex paint, suitable for interior wall decoration in villas, apartments, hotels, homes, hospitals, etc. Powder decorative coatings added with various additives are packaged in powder form, not in liquid barrels. Due to its good workability and plasticity, construction, painting on walls, making patterns, etc. can be shaped at will, just like mud, and with the addition of diatomaceous earth, construction workers are accustomed to calling it diatom mud. Over time, it has formed the shape that everyone now recognizes. Known as "diatom mud".

Diatom minerals are formed after the deposition of diatoms and mineralization over hundreds of millions of years. The main component is opal. Diatomaceous earth molecular sieve structure diagram is soft and porous. Electron microscopy shows that diatom minerals are nanoscale porous materials (micropore diameter is about 0.1-0.2 microns), with a porosity as high as 90, regularly and neatly arranged in circular and needle shapes, and their micropores per unit area The quantity is thousands of times greater than that of charcoal. The outstanding molecular lattice structure characteristics determine its unique functions. Diatom minerals have extremely strong physical adsorption properties and ion exchange properties. After fine processing, they are widely used in many fields such as alcohol and medical injection filtration, food additives, and nuclear radiation adsorbents.

Diatom mud is "a dry powdery interior wall decorative coating material formulated with inorganic gel substances as the main binding material and diatom materials as the main functional fillers." The standard setting unit has no requirements for diatomite content.
