Is diatom mud and diatom mud coating the same thing?

China Paint Network:
this year intends to decorate, heard that diatom mud can purify the air, so intend to choose. But there are diatom mud and diatom mud
coatings
two products on the market, are they the same thing? What's the difference? How do I choose?
Expert Answer: Diatom mud is a new functional interior decoration wall material in the past two years, raw materials from marine seaweed plant remains formed by the silica bio-sedimentary rock, its unique molecular sieve structure determines that it has a strong physical adsorption and ion exchange function, can free the air formaldehyde, benzene, radioactive substances, etc. through absorption to decompose into harmless substances. Diatom mud coating is actually an inner wall
latex paint
coating containing diatom mud, through the formulation of diatom materials with super adsorption capacity, etc. , to achieve the adsorption and degradation of indoor formaldehyde.
Simple to say, diatom mud is a natural coating, decorative effect is more natural, comfortable feel similar to pine, with real environmental safety and purification of the air powerful functions, but also has a certain degree of regulation of humidity, fire flame retardant, thermal insulation, noise insulation and other functions, and long service life, not easy to fade, can be partially repaired. And diatom mud coating is added diatom mud latex paint, its appearance texture, performance and latex paint consistent, adsorption formaldehyde function is not as good as natural diatom mud, there is no moisture absorption, sound insulation effect.
of diatom mud can be identified by looking, touching and simple experiments. From the appearance, high-quality diatom mud color soft and uniform, do not color, do not decolor, no color difference, and colorful diatom mud is added to the environmentally friendly organic slurry made. When selected with the touch of the hand, high-quality diatom mud surface texture soft, soft feel such as pine, evenly distributed particles, indicating no glue, and no fiber exposed. Poor-quality diatom mud feels hard, like cement and outer wall sandstone. Also need to pay attention to the specific gravity, the proportion of small diatom mud is better than the significant.
, consumers can test the merits of diatom mud with a simple experiment. With a spray pot or sprinkler to the diatom mud wall repeatedly sprayed water, the wall absorbs water quickly, absorbs water is larger, indicating that the diatom mud breathing function is good. If little or no water absorption, then the low content of diatom soil or diatom mud micro-holes are blocked by resin glue, its walls have no breathing function, not environmental protection effect. Poor-quality diatom mud can also leave water marks or turn off color after spraying water.
