The more diatomite content, the better?

The density of diatomite is 1.9-2.3g/cm3, the bulk density is 0.34-0.65g/cm3, the specific surface area is 40-65m/g, the pore volume is 0.45-0.98m, and the water absorption is 2-4 times of its own volume. That is to say, if the diatomite content is 70-80%, the amount of water added to 1KG diatom mud should be between 1.4-3.2KG. Once the diatom mud is put on the wall and the water shrinks, the diatom mud on the wall must be powdery. It can be imagined that the common phenomenon of diatom mud powdering is.

How much diatomite content is appropriate?

Diatomaceous mud is composed of a variety of inorganic natural mineral materials. Diatomaceous earth is the functional filler in it, accounting for about 30%, and bonding materials, fillers and functional additives account for about 70%.

Diatomite is mainly used to adsorb pollutants. If the proportion of diatomite in diatomite mud is too high, normal wall construction cannot be realized. This is an exaggerated commercial statement.
