Diatomaceous earth is composed of the remains of single celled Aquatic plant diatoms. The common function of this type of diatom is to absorb free silicon in water to form its skeleton. When its life ends, it deposits and forms diatomaceous earth deposits under certain geological conditions.

Diatomite is a non-metallic mineral, and its main Chemical composition is amorphous silicon dioxide (or amorphous Opal), accompanied by a small amount of clay impurities and organic matter such as Montmorillonite and Kaolinite. Under a microscope, diatomaceous earth exhibits various algal shapes in various forms, with individual algal bodies ranging in size from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers. There are many nanoscale micropores distributed on the surface and inside, which is the fundamental physical characteristic that distinguishes diatomaceous earth from other non-metallic minerals. The industrial use of diatomaceous earth is inseparable from its land and its micro porous structure, which is the fundamental characteristic.

The main component of diatomaceous earth is silicate, and the indoor and outdoor coatings and wall materials produced with it have characteristics such as microfiber and porous materials. Its ultra-fine pores are 5000 to 6000 times more than those of charcoal. When the indoor humidity rises, the ultrafine pores on the diatomaceous earth wall material can actively absorb water from the air and store it. If the moisture in the indoor air decreases and the humidity decreases, the diatomaceous earth wall material can release the water stored in the ultrafine pores.

Diatomaceous earth wall materials also have the function of eliminating odors and adhere to indoor cleanliness. The research and experimental results indicate that diatomaceous earth can act as a deodorant. If titanium oxide is added to diatomaceous earth to make composite materials, it can eliminate odors and absorb and decompose harmful chemicals for a long time, and can adhere to indoor wall cleaning for a long time. Even if there are smokers in the home, the wall will not turn yellow.

Diatomaceous earth decoration materials can also absorb and decompose substances that cause allergies, resulting in medical effects. The absorption and release of water by diatomaceous earth wall materials can undergo a waterfall effect, breaking down water molecules into positive and negative ions. Due to the encapsulation of water molecules, positive and negative ion groups are formed, and then water molecules are used as carriers to float around in the air, possessing bactericidal ability. The positive and negative ion groups floating everywhere in the air can immediately surround and isolate allergens, as well as other harmful substances such as bacteria and molds. Then, the active Hydroxide ion ions in the positive and negative ion groups react violently with these harmful substances, and then they are completely decomposed into harmless substances such as water molecules.

Diatomaceous earth indoor and outdoor coatings and decoration materials can also absorb and decompose substances that cause allergies, and have medical functions. The absorption and release of water by diatomaceous earth wall materials can undergo a waterfall effect, decomposing water molecules into positive and negative ions. Positive and negative ion groups float around in the air and have the ability to kill bacteria.
