Diatom mud is an environmentally friendly interior wall decoration material with diatomaceous earth, cellulose, and sawdust as the main raw materials. It is very popular in the decoration industry. It has the functions of eliminating formaldehyde, purifying air, regulating humidity, releasing negative oxygen ions, fire retardant, self-cleaning walls, sterilization, and deodorization.
Diatom mud is environmentally friendly and safe. It is not only highly decorative but also widely used. It is an ideal alternative material for wallpaper and latex paint.
Environmental protection
Diatom mud is natural, green, and environmentally friendly. It does not contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and VOC and is more environmentally friendly than petroleum and glue wallpaper.
Diatom mud has the characteristics of absorbing, decomposing, and eliminating formaldehyde, and is particularly suitable for families who pay attention to environmental protection and indoor safety.
Purify indoor air
The raw material of diatom mud is diatomaceous earth, which has a strong physical adsorption function, can remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde, and plays a role in purifying indoor air.
In addition, diatom mud can not only absorb and decompose toxic substances but also eliminate indoor odors. For example, meat smell, pet smell, smoke smell. They can improve indoor air quality and provide a healthier living environment.
Improve sleep
Diatom mud can release 1869 negative ions per second, which can circulate in the air, making the air in the home environment fresher.
In addition, diatom mud can also release far infrared rays, which can regulate the microcirculation of the human body and improve people's sleep quality.
Regulate indoor humidity
Diatom mud has a strong ability to regulate humidity, which is 4-6 times that of long charcoal and bamboo charcoal.
When the indoor air is humid, the pores of diatom mud can absorb moisture in the air and store it; when the indoor air is relatively dry, they can release water molecules to increase the humidity of the air.
If your indoor space is decorated with diatom mud materials, they can keep the indoor humidity between 40-60 degrees. It is well known that when the air humidity is between 40-60 degrees, mold and mites cannot survive. Diatom mud not only has the effect of eliminating influenza viruses and infectious bacteria in the air, but also ensures that quilts, clothes, and walls will not mold.
It has the function of cleaning and self-cleaning
Due to the porous characteristics of diatom mud, it can decompose oil molecules during the shrinkage process and release substances that are harmless to the human body. In addition, diatom mud is a natural mineral, does not contain heavy metals, does not generate static electricity, and therefore does not absorb dust.
Fire retardant function
Diatom mud has good fire retardant properties, which can effectively slow down the development of fire and ensure personal and property safety.
Long service life
Diatom mud has a long service life of about 20 years. It will not bulge or warp.
Exquisite decorative effect
Diatom mud has the characteristics of a customizable style. It can be made into various patterns and can also be customized according to personal preferences. It is a very popular environmentally friendly home decoration material in the market.
Easy to clean and maintain
The surface of diatom mud is smooth and delicate, and it is not easy to hide dirt. You can wipe it directly with a wet cloth without the need for special cleaning agents and tools.
Sound insulation and noise reduction
Diatom mud has a good sound insulation effect, which can reduce indoor noise and provide you with a quiet and comfortable living environment.
The price is relatively expensive
Since diatom mud is made of natural materials, its production and processing environment are relatively complex, so its price is relatively high.
High construction technology requirements
Using diatom mud materials to decorate houses requires construction workers to have professional skills. If the construction is not done properly, it is easy to cause falling off and cracking.
Not resistant to dirt
Diatom mud is not resistant to dirt. It is not recommended for families with children to use this material to decorate indoor spaces. The surface is easily stained and difficult to clean.
Not waterproof
Due to the strong adsorption capacity of diatom mud, it cannot be directly washed with water. If it is washed with water, water molecules will easily penetrate and the cleaning effect will not be ideal.
Due to the characteristics of diatom mud materials, special maintenance is required to maintain its delicate surface for a long time.
It is not recommended to install in the kitchen and bathroom area
Diatom mud has the functions of adsorption, humidity regulation, and air purification, but if it is installed in the kitchen, bathroom, and other environments, it is easy to overload adsorption, thus causing secondary pollution.
It is not recommended to use diatom mud materials for decoration in oily or humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Therefore, in the kitchen and bathroom area, we usually choose ceramic tile materials for decoration.
Limited color options
Compared to other interior decoration materials, diatom mud has fewer colors to choose from.
In short, diatom mud is an environmentally friendly and practical interior decoration material. We can understand the advantages and disadvantages of diatom mud, and when decorating the house, we can make appropriate choices according to personal preferences and decoration style.
