The main component of diatomite is silica, a naturally occurring mineral that can be processed into various products and widely used in life. What are the effects of diatomite ? What can it be used for in life? Don't worry, Xiao Bian will introduce it to you today.

What are the effects of diatomite?

1. Diatomite can effectively adsorb formaldehyde, and it also has strong adsorption power to harmful gases such as benzene and ammonia. This is because of its unique "molecular sieve"-like pore layout with strong filtration and adsorption. Can effectively solve the problem of air pollution in modern homes.

2. The effect of diatomaceous earth can automatically adjust the indoor air humidity. When the temperature changes in the morning or evening or when the season changes, diatomaceous earth can automatically absorb and release moisture according to the humidity in the air, so as to adjust the ambient air. The purpose of humidity.

3. The negative oxygen ions released by diatomite can effectively remove a variety of odors, such as secondhand smoke, household waste odor, pet body odor, etc., and keep the indoor air fresh.

Diatomaceous earth has the property of oil absorption. When it breathes, it can absorb oil molecules and react to release substances that are harmless to the human body. It has good oil absorption, but the role of diatomaceous earth does not include Vacuuming.

5. Diatomaceous earth is a very good thermal insulation material, because its main component is silica, its thermal conductivity is very low, it is very suitable for thermal insulation materials.

What diatomaceous earth can be used for in life

Filter aid

In the market, filter aids account for 35% of the total output of China's diatomite products, and it is one of its main products. Because the role of diatomite adsorption and filtration, it is often made of filter aids, the diatomite filter aid currently on the market has more than a dozen varieties, the annual production capacity has exceeded 200,000 tons.

2. Rubber Products and Plastic Products

Diatomaceous earth occupies a very important position in tires, tapes, cables, or other rubber products. Because pure rubber products are easily damaged during processing, use and storage, and lose their use value, adding diatomaceous earth can effectively improve its elasticity and strength. The addition of diatomaceous earth to plastic products can improve heat resistance and wear resistance.

3. Papermaking

In the papermaking process, the addition of diatomaceous earth can enlarge the area of ​​the paper to the light scattering interface, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the transparency of the paper and making the paper smooth and strong. And the role of diatomite can absorb the impurities produced in the papermaking process, and the paper produced is clean and white.

4. Decoration paint coating

Diatomaceous earth is widely used in paints such as oil paints, powder paints, and water-based paints. The addition of diatomaceous earth paints is not only non-toxic, light and soft, but also can improve the adhesion between coatings and accelerate their coating. Drying speed is a good filler in coatings.

Xiao Bian concludes: Through the above Xiao Bian introduction to the role of diatomaceous earth , everyone has a better understanding of diatomite? Hope that friends interested in this area can help. For friends who want more relevant information, come and follow this site!
