With the continuous development of social science and technology, a new generation of interior decoration materials-diatom mud often appears on the market today. For most people, there is less contact with diatom mud, and they don't understand what diatom mud is. Today, let's take a look at what is diatom mud and what are the advantages and disadvantages of diatom mud.

Diatom Mud Explanation

Diatom Mud is mainly composed of diatomite, which is a siliceous sedimentary rock composed of the remains of ancient diatoms. The main chemical substance of diatom mud is silicon, and the main use of diatom mud is as an environmentally friendly decorative wall material for interior walls. It is a new generation of alternative wallpaper and paint coatings for interior decoration building materials. Diatom mud is very healthy and environmentally friendly, with good decoration, and its sales and status in today's interior decoration building materials are also greatly increased.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Diatom Mud

1) Diatom Mud needs to be effectively conductive and decomposed into various harmful substances in interior decoration, especially formaldehyde, which needs to purify indoor air. And indoor decoration using diatom mud, but also need to remove the odor in the decoration.

2) Adjust the humidity of indoor air. Diatom mud is used in indoor decoration, which needs to be automatically absorbed, stored and released according to the humidity in the indoor air.

3) Sound insulation. Diatom mud has a strong attraction and sound insulation function, and its barrier to sound absorption is equivalent to twice that of cement mortar and slate. Its heat insulation effect is equivalent to six times that of cement mortar of the same thickness, and it needs to save electricity and heating costs in the room.

4) Fire sterilization. Diatom mud has only a melting point and no ignition point, which can effectively avoid the recurrence of fire. And diatom mud needs to decompose water molecules into positive and negative ions, so as to have a strong sterilization ability.

5) Long life and easy to clean. There are no harmful heavy metals in diatom mud, which not only needs anti-static, but also does not absorb dust, and needs to maintain the cleanliness of the wall for a long time. The service life of diatom mud is generally more than 20 years, and it will not fade again, crack, hydrolysis and other phenomena.

6) diatom ooze is not waterproof, and the adsorption of diatom ooze is very strong. If it is wiped with water, who will absorb the water into the wall surface, thus negatively affecting the use and beauty of the wall surface. Therefore, the wall surface of diatom ooze does not need to be scrubbed with water after being soiled.

7) The hardness of diatom mud is higher than that of ceramic tiles, and cracking occurs again when it is impacted. And its decoration on the wall, the surface is rough, such as the most like smooth and meticulous wall owners, can choose tile or latex paint to decorate the wall.

8) Compared with general latex paint, diatom mud is more expensive. Today, the general diatom mud on the market is priced at 500 yuan per square meter. If you want to freely choose a poor diatom mud, its price is more expensive. 48
