Diatomite can be used as efficient fertilizer to promote crop growth and improve soil. Rubber industry: fillers in various rubber products, such as vehicle tires, rubber pipes, V-belts, rubber rolling, conveyor belts, car mats, etc. The advantages of diatomite application: it can significantly enhance the rigidity and strength of the product, with the sedimentation volume up to 95%, and can improve the performance of the product in terms of heat resistance, wear resistance, heat preservation, aging resistance and other chemical actions. Building thermal insulation industry: roof insulation layer, thermal insulation brick, calcium silicate thermal insulation material, porous coal cake furnace, sound insulation, thermal insulation and fire protection decorative plate and other thermal insulation, thermal insulation and sound insulation building materials, wall sound insulation decorative plate, floor tile, ceramic products, etc;
Advantages of diatomite application 2: diatomite should be used as an additive in cement. Adding 5% diatomite in cement production can improve the strength of ZMP, and the SiO2 in cement can become active, which can be used as a rescue cement. Plastic industry: living plastic products, building plastic products, agricultural plastic, window and door plastic, various plastic pipes, and other light and heavy industrial plastic products.
Advantages of diatomite application 3: It has excellent extensibility, high impact strength, tensile strength, tear strength, light and soft, good internal abrasion, and good compressive strength. Paper industry: office paper, industrial paper and other paper; Advantages of applying diatomite: light and soft, with fineness ranging from 120 mesh to 1200 mesh. The addition of diatomite can make the paper smooth, light in weight, good in strength, reduce the expansion caused by humidity changes, adjust the combustion rate in cigarette paper, without any toxic side effects, and improve the clarity of the filtrate in the filter paper, and accelerate the filtration rate. Paint and coating industry: furniture, office paint, building paint, machinery, home appliance paint, oil printing ink, asphalt meter, automobile paint and other paint and coating fillers;
Advantages of diatomite application 4: neutral pH value, non-toxic, fineness of 120 to 1200 mesh, light and soft constitution, it is a high-quality filler in paint. Feed industry: additives for pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, fish, birds, aquatic products and other feeds. Advantages of diatomite application: PH value is neutral and non-toxic, diatomite mineral powder has unique pore structure, light and soft weight, large porosity, strong adsorption performance, light and soft color, can be evenly dispersed in the feed, and can be mixed with the feed particles, not easy to separate and separate, livestock and poultry can promote digestion after eating, and can adsorb bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of livestock and poultry and then discharge them, strengthen the physique, and play a role in strengthening muscles and bones, The water quality of aquatic products in the fishpond becomes clear, and the air permeability is good, and the survival rate of aquatic products is improved. Polishing and friction industry: brake pad polishing in vehicles, mechanical steel plate, wood furniture, glass, etc; Advantages of diatomite application: strong lubricating performance. Leather and artificial leather industry: various kinds of leather such as artificial leather products.
Advantages of diatomite application: 5. High quality filler with strong sunscreen, soft and light constitution, and can eliminate leather pollution of balloon products: light capacity, neutral PH value, non-toxic, soft and smooth powder, good strength, sunscreen and high temperature resistance. Diatomite is used in coating, paint, sewage treatment and other industries.
Collapse the main advantages of editing this paragraph
Diatomite coating additive products, with large porosity, strong absorption, chemical stability, wear resistance, heat resistance and other characteristics, can provide excellent surface performance, compatibilization, thickening and improve adhesion for the coating. Because of its large pore volume, it can shorten the drying time of the coating film. It can also reduce the amount of resin and reduce the cost. This product is considered to be a kind of high-efficient paint matting powder with good cost performance. It has been widely used in water-based diatom mud as a designated product by many large paint manufacturers in the world.
Folded without poison
Many new indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials with diatomite as raw materials are increasingly favored by consumers at home and abroad. In China, diatomite is a potential natural material for the development of indoor and outdoor coatings. It does not contain harmful chemicals. In addition to its non-combustible, soundproof, waterproof, light weight and heat insulation characteristics, it also has the functions of dehumidification, deodorization, and purification of indoor air. It is an excellent environmental protection indoor and outdoor decoration material.
Diatom is a kind of unicellular algae that first appeared on the earth. It lives in sea water or lake water, and its form is extremely small, usually only a few microns to ten microns. Diatoms can carry out photosynthesis and produce organic substances. They often grow and reproduce at an amazing rate. Its remains were deposited to form diatomite. Diatomite is mainly composed of silicic acid, with numerous pores on the surface, which can absorb and decompose the odor in the air, and has the functions of humidifying and deodorizing. Building materials produced with diatomite as raw material not only have the characteristics of incombustibility, dehumidification, deodorization and good permeability, but also can purify air, sound insulation, waterproof and heat insulation. This new building material has many advantages and low cost, so it is widely used in various decoration projects.
Since the 1980s, a large number of decorative materials containing many chemical substances have been used in the interior decoration of Japanese houses, causing the “interior decoration pollution syndrome” and affecting the health of some people. In order to mitigate the negative impact of residential decoration, the Japanese government, on the one hand, revised the “Building Benchmark Law” to strictly restrict the use of building materials that emit harmful chemicals in the residential interior, and strictly stipulated that the interior must be equipped with mechanical ventilation equipment and implement mandatory ventilation. On the other hand, actively encourage and support enterprises to develop new indoor decoration materials without harmful chemicals.
