    Core tip: with the continuous extension of the life concept of green environmental protection and low-carbon life, many new indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials with diatomite as raw materials are increasingly favored by consumers at home and abroad, among which diatomite mud occupies a seat in the coating market However, there are many brands and products of diatom mud sold in the market Some manufacturers exaggerate or even falsely publicize the product performance of diatom mud, which makes consumers unable to correctly choose diatom mud in the process of consuming diatom mud products Next, this paper will interpret the misunderstanding of diatom mud from four aspects Fine count diatom mud Xuan 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: with the continuous extension of the life concept of green environmental protection and low-carbon life, many new indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials made of diatomite are increasingly favored by consumers at home and abroad, among which diatomite mud occupies a seat in the paint market However, there are many brands and products of diatom mud sold in the market Some manufacturers exaggerate or even falsely publicize the product performance of diatom mud, which makes consumers unable to correctly choose diatom mud in the process of consuming diatom mud products Next, this paper will interpret the misunderstanding of diatom mud from four aspects Diatomite content is well known The porosity and specific surface of diatomite molecules are the same volume of activated carbon Its unique molecular structure makes it have strong adsorption capacity Therefore, the content of diatomite also determines the adsorption capacity of diatomite mud However, diatomite is an inorganic mineral with SiO2 as the main component Its chemical performance is extremely stable and it can't react with any substance outside under normal conditions, so it doesn't have any adhesive effect Pure diatomite can't adhere to the wall On the surface According to the national industry standard for diatomaceous mud issued on September 1, 2013, the content of diatomaceous earth is detectable, and the detectable standard in the laboratory is more than 10% For some enterprises that publicize that the content of diatomaceous earth is more than 90%, it is pure false propaganda, and the diatomaceous mud products with the content of more than 90% cannot be put on the wall, and will affect the addition of other functional auxiliary materials, such as decomposition agent, etc 。 After thousands of experiments, a large number of data analysis shows that the content of diatomite in high-quality diatomite products should reach 30% - 50%, which can effectively guarantee the adsorption performance and does not affect the addition of functional auxiliary materials 2 It is said that diatom mud is the product of the next generation that some brands call it the second generation, the third generation, even the eighth and ninth generation when they publicize their diatom mud products However, the national standard of diatom mud does not make corresponding identification standards for the level of diatom mud products In order to over emphasize the decoration and beauty of diatom mud, some brands that claim to be the products of generations of diatom mud intentionally add different kinds of toxic chemicals, which not only reduce the environmental protection function of diatom mud, but also increase new air pollution sources The so-called publicity of the X-generation diatom mud products is a publicity gimmick invented by some diatom mud production enterprises to promote the products, which misleads consumers to correctly judge the performance of diatom mud products Diatom mud originated from Japan Since the 1970s, diatom mud has been used in home decoration in Japan After decades of development, the decoration style of diatom mud in Japan remains the same as it was at the beginning, with very small changes, mainly based on simple manual texture But in China, after 10 years of development, the decoration style of diatom mud is more and more diversified, and the patterns and patterns of diatom mud are more and more rich, and the colors are more and more colorful Rich patterns and gorgeous colors cater to the aesthetic point of view of Chinese people However, diatomite is a kind of matte product Diatomite is a powder with very small particle size, which has strong achromatic ability and strong coverage Some brands excessively pursue product color saturation and add organic pigments and other chemicals to the products, so a large number of volatile organic compounds (such as VOC) are easy to be produced in the coating process, resulting in harm to the respiratory system of human body 3 At present, there are different arguments about the strong and weak alkalinity of diatom mud in the market In fact, the strong alkalinity and weak alkalinity of diatom mud are caused by different inorganic cementitious materials contained in diatom mud According to the relevant standards of China's construction industry, diatomite mud products can be called qualified diatomite mud products as long as the content and relevant performance of diatomite can meet the requirements of the national standard for diatomite mud Therefore, the strong and weak alkalinity of diatom mud has no direct relationship with the environmental protection performance of diatom mud In addition, the weak alkaline diatom mud is even publicized to be beneficial to human health From the medical point of view, it is healthy for human body fluids to keep weak alkalinity, but the diatom mud on the wall has nothing to do with human body fluids, so this kind of propaganda is nonsense 4 Whether diatomite enterprises have diatomite ore in the process of terminal sales, some diatomite brands overstate the strength of their own enterprises and publicize their own diatomite ore resources According to the national mineral resources law, the State Council is the ultimate representative of the state ownership of mineral resources Local governments at all levels can only exercise the power of mineral resources ownership on behalf of the state in accordance with the provisions of national laws and the authorization of the State Council Any enterprise only has the right to mine and operate mineral resources, but cannot exercise the ownership On the other hand, professional people and enterprises can do professional things The two concepts of mining diatomite ore and producing diatomite mud are far away from each other Therefore, the statement and publicity of diatomite ore ownership are actually misleading to consumers' right to know about consumption Home of coatings focuses on the news and information of coatings, diatom mud, paint coatings, coating process, fire retardant coatings and coatings, paint coatings, coating process, decoration knowledge and decoration effect map of fire retardant coatings,
