What is Diatom mud?

Diatom mud is an eco-friendly interior wall finishing material made from natural diatomaceous earth, known for its strong adsorption capacity, breathability, and decorative appeal. It is widely used in modern green buildings for creating healthy and stylish living environments.

Importance of Diatom mud

Diatom mud is valued not only for its beauty but also for its functional performance.

Air Purification

Diatomaceous earth's porous structure allows it to absorb and release moisture from the air, thereby regulating indoor humidity and achieving moisture and mildew resistance.

Moisture Regulation

It is balancing humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture naturally.

Thermal and Sound Insulation

Diatomaceous earth's low thermal conductivity and porous structure give it excellent thermal insulation and sound absorption properties.

Fire Retardancy

Diatomaceous earth is primarily composed of inorganic minerals and is non-combustible, producing no harmful fumes even at high temperatures.

Decorative Effect

The different construction techniques and textures can create a rich variety of textures and shapes, making it highly decorative and artistic.

How does the Celix pure grade cellulose ethers improve the Diatom mud Features?

Diatom mud typically contains cellulose ethers like Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) or Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEMC/MHEC). These additives are added to improve water retention, enhance workability and plasticity, provide better adhesion to substrates, and thicken the mixture, helping to prevent cracking and improve overall performance.
