What Is Mineral Paint?

Diatomaceous earth is a rock with a biological structure. It is mainly composed of diatom shells of 80 ~ 90%, some of which are more than 90%. The main consumer of silica in seawater and lake water is diatoms, which form diatom slime. Diatomite is formed during the petrochemical stage during diagenesis.

Diatomite coating additive products have the characteristics of large porosity, strong absorption, stable chemical properties, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, etc., and can provide coatings with excellent surface properties, capacity enhancement, thickening and adhesion.

Due to its large pore volume, it can shorten the drying time of the coating film. Can also reduce

It does not contain toxic chemicals:

In recent years, many new indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials based on diatomaceous earth have become more and more popular with consumers at home and abroad.

In China, it is a potential natural material for the development of diatomite indoor and outdoor coatings. It does not contain harmful chemicals. In addition to being non-combustible, soundproof, waterproof, lightweight, and thermally insulated, it also has dehumidification, deodorization, and purification. Indoor air and other functions are excellent environmental protection indoor and outdoor decoration materials.

Diatoms are the single-cell algae that first appeared on the earth. They live in seawater or lake water with extremely small shapes, usually only a few microns to a dozen microns. Diatoms can perform photosynthesis and make organic matter. It often grows and reproduces at an alarming rate.

Its remains are deposited to form diatomaceous earth.

It is this diatom that provides oxygen to the earth through photosynthesis and promotes the birth of humans, animals and plants. The main component of diatomite is silicic acid, with numerous fine pores on the surface, which can absorb and decompose odors in the air, and has the functions of humidity control and deodorization. Building materials produced using diatomaceous earth not only have the characteristics of non-combustibility, dehumidification, deodorization and good permeability, but also can purify air, sound insulation, waterproof and heat insulation.

At present, this new type of building material has many advantages and low cost, so it is widely used in various decoration projects.

Since the 1980s, the interior decoration of Japanese houses has used a large number of decorative materials containing many chemical substances, which has caused the "interior decoration pollution syndrome" and affected some people's health.

In order to reduce the negative impact caused by residential decoration, the Japanese government on the one hand revised the "Building Standards Law" to strictly restrict the use of building materials that emit harmful chemical substances in residential interiors, and strictly stipulated that indoors must be equipped with mechanical ventilation , Implement mandatory ventilation. On the other hand, companies are actively encouraged and supported to develop new interior decoration materials that do not contain harmful chemicals.

diatomite

The research results of Kitami Institute of Technology in Japan show that the indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials produced using diatomite not only do not emit harmful chemicals to the human body, but also improve the living environment.

First, the indoor humidity can be adjusted automatically.

The main component of diatomite is silicic acid. The indoor and outdoor coatings and wall materials produced with it have the characteristics of superfiber and porous, and its ultrafine pores are 5000 to 6000 times more than charcoal. When the humidity in the room rises, the ultra-fine pores in the diatomaceous earth wall material can automatically absorb the moisture in the air and store it. If the moisture in the indoor air decreases and the humidity decreases, the diatomaceous earth wall material can release the water stored in the ultrafine pores.

Secondly, the diatomite wall material also has the function of eliminating odors and keeping the room clean.

Research and experimental results show that diatomite can function as a deodorant.

If titanium dioxide is added to the diatomite to make a composite material, it can eliminate odor and absorb and decompose harmful chemicals for a long time, and can keep the indoor wall clean for a long time. Even if there are smokers in the home, the walls will not yellow.

Third, the research report believes that diatomite decoration materials can also absorb and decompose substances that cause allergies to people, resulting in medical effects. The diatomite wall material absorbs and releases water to produce a waterfall effect, which breaks down water molecules into positive and negative ions.

The water molecules are wrapped to form a group of positive and negative ions, and then the water molecules are used as carriers to float around in the air, which has a sterilizing ability.

The positive and negative ion groups floating around in the air encounter allergens and other harmful substances such as bacteria and molds, and can immediately surround and isolate them. Then, the most active hydroxide ions in the positive and negative ion groups undergo severe chemical reactions with these harmful substances, and finally they are completely decomposed into harmless substances such as water molecules.

Diatomite mineral paint and decoration materials can also absorb and decompose substances that cause human allergies, and have medical functions. The absorption and release of water by the diatomite wall material can produce a waterfall effect, breaking down water molecules into positive and negative ions. The positive and negative ion groups float around in the air and have sterilization ability.
