Diatomite contains a lot of SiO2. After calcination, atropine grinding, acidification, and other treatments, the surface area of ​​diatomite can be increased, the activity of diatomite can be stimulated, and it can react with cement hydration products. Therefore, it can be used as an active volcanic ash material, and can even replace part of the cement and be added to concrete, which has certain improvements on the mechanical properties, durability, and workability of cement and concrete. Diatomite can also be made into ceramsite and added to concrete to prepare lightweight aggregate concrete. The absolute dry weight is 800 kg/m3~1 190 kg/m3 and the compressive strength is 2.5 MPa~8 MPa for 7 d~56 d.
In addition to traditional materials, many building materials with better performance can be made by using diatomite as the main raw material and adding other compounds. For example, Japan uses the porous moisture absorption and moisture release function of diatomite to develop diatomite lightweight decorative coatings and humidity-regulating functional materials. Add K2O and some organic compounds to diatomite and treat it at high temperature to produce conductive and fireproof coatings; extract SiO2 and a small amount of Al2O3 from diatomite, add some alkali metals, and after a series of processes, foam glass can be produced, which is good heat insulation and sound absorption material. Decorative ceramics made of diatomite as the main raw material prepared by the secondary firing method have high strength, low water absorption, low shrinkage, etc., and are an excellent environmentally friendly natural interior decoration material.

Benefits of Diatomite Building Materials

Diatomite building materials offer a host of benefits, making them an excellent choice for modern construction and interior design. Derived from natural diatomite, they are eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free, and non-toxic, promoting healthier indoor air quality. These materials provide exceptional fire resistance, meeting stringent safety standards while remaining non-toxic under high temperatures. Their moisture-resistant properties prevent mold and mildew, making them ideal for humid environments. Additionally, diatomite is highly durable, with anti-corrosion and insect-proof capabilities, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance. With excellent thermal insulation and versatile design options, diatomite materials enhance energy efficiency and support customizable, stylish, and sustainable living spaces.

Diatomaceous Earth in Building Materials - Green Paint and Coatings

The material itself is a pure green environmentally friendly product. While ensuring the particle size, it also retains the integrity of its internal microporous structure. It has special properties such as fineness, porosity, low density, large specific surface area, strong adsorption performance, better suspension performance, sound insulation and heat insulation, wear resistance, and acid resistance. The unique porous particle structure of diatomite can make the smooth coating rough and produce a diffuse reflection effect. Not only that, diatomite can also adjust and balance the adhesion between the coating and the base surface; due to the porous properties of diatomite, it can increase the drying speed of sticky paint. It is non-toxic, light, and soft, and is a high-quality filler in paints and coatings.

Features of Diatom Ecological Board

1
Formaldehyde-Free and Environmentally Friendly

The Diatom Ecological Board is an advanced wall material made from natural diatomite, designed to promote a healthy and eco-conscious lifestyle. It is entirely free from formaldehyde and unpleasant odors, ensuring a safe indoor environment. Moreover, its natural diatomite composition allows it to absorb harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, making it an excellent choice for maintaining a fresh and healthy living space.

2
Flame Retardant and Heat Insulation

The diatom board offers exceptional fire resistance, boasting a high melting point and low thermal conductivity. Meeting the B1 fire protection standard, it is classified as a difficult-to-burn material, making it suitable for projects with stringent fire safety requirements. In addition to being fire retardant, the board does not emit toxic gases when exposed to high temperatures, ensuring a secure and worry-free environment for your home or project.

3
Mold and Moisture Resistant

One of the standout features of the diatom board is its ability to withstand moisture. Thanks to its natural diatomite composition, it has an extremely low water absorption thickness expansion rate of only 0.02%. This makes it particularly suitable for humid environments, where it effectively prevents issues like leakage and mildew. As a result, it is an ideal choice for wall decorations in areas prone to moisture.

4
Anti-Corrosion and Insect-Proof

Engineered with a blend of high-quality diatomite and cutting-edge nanotechnology, the diatom board is highly durable and resistant to various forms of damage. Its acid-resistant properties and strong adsorption capabilities provide efficient protection against corrosion and insects, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable solution for interior and exterior applications.

5
Versatile and Customizable

The diatom board’s versatility is unmatched, as its physical properties rival those of traditional materials such as solid wood particle boards and multi-layer wood boards. It is easily adaptable to various design needs, allowing for nailing, drilling, veneering, carving, bending, and molding. With endless options in style, size, color, and combinations, the diatom board supports personalized customization, making it the perfect material for creating unique and sophisticated home or office decor.
