    Core tip: as the development of diatom mud industry is not very mature, many consumers don't know how to identify and even make mistakes Let's take a look at these mistakes and say goodbye to being fooled! There are some misunderstandings in the purchase of diatom mud One is that the real diatom mud is formed by water Some enterprises advocate that diatom mud should be formed by water and have the characteristics of mud, which is diatom "mud" This is a complete deception and deception of consumers When it comes to water, it seems natural at first, but it is actually the product with the worst quality Under the erosion of water vapor in the air, the surface of the diatom mud will decompose and fall off, and become floating in the air Paint knowledge | precautions for wall paint color selection Recommended introduction: when painting the wall, the owner sometimes has difficulty in choosing what color of the wall paint to paint In fact, there is no ugly color in the wall paint, only the disharmonious color matching The use of wall color contains the knowledge of health Too strong color will stimulate people's perception, make people have a sense of fidgety, affect people's mental health Grasp the basic principles of wall color and paint a colorful space 1、 Wall paint color selection notice 1 Light color is generally used for the top surface Light colors make people feel light, dark colors make people feel heavy Usually, the treatment of rooms is from top to bottom, from shallow to deep For example, the ceiling and walls of rooms are white and Home of coatings news: because the development of diatom mud industry is not very mature, so many consumers do not know how to identify, or even have errors Let's take a look at these errors together, farewell to be fooled! There are some misunderstandings in the purchase of diatom mud One is that the real diatom mud is formed by water Some enterprises advocate that diatom mud should be formed by water and have the characteristics of mud, which is diatom "mud" This is a complete deception and deception of consumers When it comes to water, it seems natural at first, but it is actually the product with the worst quality Under the erosion of water vapor in the air, the surface of this kind of diatom mud will decompose and fall off, and become silica floating in the air, which may cause asthma or even silicosis, hiding a huge potential safety hazard As a kind of building material, while pursuing natural environmental protection, it must be able to meet the most basic safety problems It's as if we can no longer pursue nature, or risk being infected by bacteria and parasites to eat raw meat, or pursue nature, or go back to the primitive society to live a high-risk life of drinking blood The so-called "mud" of diatom mud is just a common name, not the real performance of its performance Over demanding this mud like nature may fall into the "trap" carefully prepared by businesses At present, there are clear regulations on the durability of the materials in the products of diatom mud under development The products that meet the water mud cannot pass the relevant tests, that is, the products that do not meet the standards Myth 2: what looks beautiful is the texture display of good diatom mud and diatom mud exhibition hall According to the decoration effect, diatom mud can be regarded as one of the art coatings Diatom mud has a certain three-dimensional decoration function, which can make some beautiful texture modeling, but overall, the effect of diatom mud products can only be regarded as the middle level of art coatings Most of the outstanding visual effects need to be achieved by adding a lot of chemical materials, and even a large number of individual products need to be painted to achieve a uniform visual effect In order to achieve the effect similar to diatom mud, there are other materials such as weathered rock, sandstone, texture primer and so on Although they look similar, there is a huge risk of pollution The reason why diatom mud can stand out from many art coatings is that it is favored by many people, not by the visual effect, but by its environmental protection and functionality Refuse to use all kinds of chemical materials to adjust the performance, although losing certain texture effect, but to the greatest extent to ensure the environmental protection and functionality of the material Error 3: the primary ore color of diatom mud is the earth yellow of the earth yellow ≠ the primary ore color of diatom mud is called "diatom mud" because its main active component "diatomite" is named Diatomite is a mineral name, evolved from the remains of ancient diatoms Its main component is opal The natural diatomite is buried in the structure of the ore bed Because of its porous adsorption, it contains a lot of impurities The purified diatomite is white, light yellow and light gray Only the raw diatomite ore containing a large number of unknown impurities will have color These impurities block the breathing hole of diatomite, not only lose the breathing function, but also produce new pollution Diatomite itself is not rare, but the advanced diatomite which can be used to make diatomite wall material is very limited, which is determined by the difficulty of purification and the purity of the finished product Some manufacturers use the raw material of raw diatomite which contains a lot of impurities Although it has "natural" color, the activity of diatomite is almost zero, and various heavy metals and other substances in the impurities will become potential killers of health Under the guise of "raw ore color" and "natural color" of diatom mud, in fact, the inferior products with great risk are sold, which deserves our attention Myth 4: diatom mud is very rough The flat coating construction of diatom mud is very delicate The first reaction in many people's mind is that the rough mud is made of sand It seems that only the similar "diatom mud" is true, and those that are very thin and greasy must be fake, or they are made of putty powder It is true that some small workshops use ordinary putty powder or similar products to pretend to be diatom mud, but it is a big mistake to judge whether diatom mud is true or not based on the thickness of products Diatomite is the main raw material of diatomite, but pure diatomite can not be used as building materials directly on the wall Besides diatomite, there are many other inorganic fillers in diatomite Whether diatomite or inorganic filler, there are different choices of coarse material and fine material If diatomite uses fine material and filler also uses fine material, the finished diatomite mud will not be rough, but it still has all the characteristics of diatomite mud On the contrary, if a product does not use diatomite, but uses a lot of coarse fillers, the final product will be very rough, but it is completely "fake" diatomite mud Some businesses propagandize that "only rough surface can have the function of absorbing moisture and removing aldehyde", which is even more nonsense The functionality of diatomite is realized by molecular micropores invisible to the naked eye, which has nothing to do with whether the surface is rough or not It's just an excuse to fool consumers to say that only rough can have functionality
