The research achievement by Kitasami University of Technology, Japan shows that Indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials produced with diatomite not only do not emit harmful chemicals, but also improve the living environment.
Firstly, diatomite can automatically adjust the humidity in the room. The main component of diatomite is silicate, with which the indoor and outdoor coating and wall materials produced have the characteristics of sperfiber and porosity, and the ultra-fine pores are 5000 to 6000 times more than charcoal. When the indoor humidity rises, the ultra-fine holes in the diatomite wall can automatically absorb moisture from the air and store it. If the moisture in the indoor air is reduced and the humidity is reduced, the diatomite wall material can release the moisture stored in the ultra-fine pores.
Secondly, diatomite wall material still has the function that eliminates peculiar smell, maintain indoor cleanness. Research and experimental results show that diatomite can act as a deodorant. If titanium oxide is added to the diatomite composite material, it can eliminate odor and absorb and decompose harmful chemicals for a long time, and keep the indoor walls clean for a long time, even if there are smokers in the home, the walls will not turn yellow.
Thirdly , research report thinks, diatomite decorates material can also absorb and decompose the material that causes person allergy, and produce medical treatment effect. The absorption and release of water by diatomite wall material can produce waterfall effect and decompose water molecules into positive and negative ions. Because water molecules are wrapped, forming positive and negative ion groups, and then with water molecules as carriers, floating around in the air, has the ability to kill bacteria.The positive and negative ions floating around in the air are immediately surrounded and isolated by allergens and other harmful substances such as bacteria and mold.Then, the most active hydroxyl ions in the positive and negative ion groups react violently with these harmful substances, and finally decompose them completely into harmless substances such as water molecules.
