How about the anti mildew effect of diatom mud, I want to modify the basement of my house to use

Diatom mud has a general anti-mildew effect, and it is not recommended to use diatom mud to prevent mildew in the basement.

Diatom mud is a material that is easy to absorb moisture, and it is rich in nutrients, so the effect of diatom mud against mildew is general, and it is not recommended to use it in the basement.

For basement paints, it is recommended to have outstanding waterproof and moisture-resistant effects, or to add anti-mold agents to the paint. This will be the case.

Basement decoration is not recommended to apply silicon baths. Silicon baths are not waterproof or moisture-proof. It is mainly composed of attapulgite with a reticulated molecular formula, which is easy to absorb moisture, and once it touches the water, the silicon bath is very easy to fall off.

The basement decoration proposes to use bamboo and wood fiberboard. Bamboo and wood fiberboard has the characteristics of air permeability, waterproof and insect-proof, sound insulation, flame retardant, fire safety, heat insulation, corrosion resistance, durability and so on. The colors are varied, the styles are changeable, and it is easy to clean.

There are two types of water that must be avoided in the lower chamber: liquid and gaseous.

Liquid is the root cause of dampness in the basement, which exists in the outdoor soil layer, and it is impossible to prevent it, and it infiltrates into the room along the micro-cracks and pores of the basement structure of the villa. Gaseous water should exist in the basement of the villa in the shape of water vapor, and should solidify into water droplets on the surface of objects with low ambient temperatures. The moisture content of the silicon bath has a standard value, when the gas moisture content in the basement of your villa is less than these standard values, the silicon bath can be reasonably sucked and stored, and released again when the weather is dry.

However, when the water content exceeds this standard value, and exceeds the contrast that the silicone bath can withstand, the dehumidification effect of the suction wheel is lost. The key raw material of the silicon bath is the diatom mud mineral attapulgite produced over tens of millions of years, the silicon bath itself does not have environmental pollution, natural, and has many functions, which is incomparable to traditional architectural coatings such as wall paint and wallpaper. The wall covering can absorb or release water, and automatically adjust the humidity of the air environment in the room to make it more balanced.

In particular, the effect of adjusting the relative humidity of the air in the internal structure of the villa basement is obvious, reducing the trouble caused by the damp and cold gas. The construction of the silicon bath is not as cost-effective as other materials, and once the silicon bath is destroyed, the repair is particularly troublesome, it is not clear what the basement of the subject's villa wants to do, but in fact there is nowhere to do it, the wall of the basement proposes to paste that kind of milky white dragon brick, and then caulking, the actual effect is very good,And not afraid of water, so to speak, once and for all, not afraid of moisture, no mold, and no mildew.

Diatom mud is used for basement decoration, diatom mud is a natural and environmentally friendly interior wall decoration material, which is made of diatomaceous earth as the main raw material without adding any gel material. It can release moisture and play a role in moisture and mildew resistance. It is used to balance indoor humidity.

Of course, you can, you can use diatom mud, which can be very moisture-proof, but waterproofing also needs to be done.

When decorating the basement, try to choose materials that can prevent moisture. Diatom mud can have the effect of moisture and corrosion, so it is very good to choose diatom mud.

1.Diatom mud is not suitable for installation in the bathroom, reasons:

Diatom mud itself has the properties of mud, so it is not suitable for seeing water. It absorbs moisture for a long time and regulates the indoor air humidity, but the bathroom is humid for a long time and the air humidity is high. The effect of diatom mud on water absorption is limited, and the toilet is not conducive to the release of moisture.

Therefore, it is not suitable for use in the bathroom.

2.Not suitable for use in the kitchen, reasons:

In the process of stir-frying, the kitchen releases a lot of oil smoke. After the diatom mud adsorbs the oil smoke, a layer of oil film will be formed on the surface, which will block the pores of the diatom mud and affect the function of the diatom mud.

In a humid air environment, mold breeds in large quantities, and after the mold falls on the wall, the wall provides a better growth environment for mold. Mold can also survive in difficult environments, such as walls, and their rapid multiplication in the form of spores can cause mold growth on walls. Long-term exposure to mold may cause respiratory diseases and allergic symptoms, and people with low immunity (such as the elderly and children) may cause headaches, fevers, or inflammation of mucous membranes.

Mold spreads and multiplies everywhere in nature, which is difficult to control, and if you want to keep the wall from growing mold, you need to do it: the wall does not provide enough food for mold to grow. Then here comes the problem, no"Mold food"The wall paint is not environmentally friendly and harmful to the body, and the environmentally friendly wall paint provides for mold"Food", for example, protein glue (a type of wallpaper glue), although very environmentally friendly, but enough for mold"Delicious meal"。

Diatomaceous earth, the main raw material of diatom mud, is extracted from diatom minerals, which is a natural and environmentally friendly product, and it is difficult for mold parasitism. Scientific experiments have shown that the absorption and release of water by diatomaceous earth can produce a waterfall effect. The humidity regulation function of diatom mud is 4 6 times that of long charcoal and bamboo charcoal.

When the room is damp, the micropores of diatom mud can suck water molecules in the air and store them; When the air is dry, it can release water molecules for humidity, so people call diatom mud"Breathing walls"。

With diatom mud walls, no humidifiers, no power supply, no manipulation, the indoor humidity can always be kept between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, which is the most comfortable. When the air humidity is between 40 and 60 degrees, mold and mites cannot survive, which not only kills the influenza and infectious disease germs in the air, but also ensures that the quilt, clothes are damp and the wall mold will not occur!

High-quality diatom mud can comprehensively inhibit the attachment and growth of mold from several aspects such as nutritional conditions, humidity, pH, etc., and diatom mud with the following four conditions has a good anti-mildew effect

1. Diatom mud of inorganic mineral materials.

The first element of mold survival is the need for a certain nutritional environment, such as latex paint, wallpaper, and wall coverings are all organic, and have the material conditions for mold survival, so it is difficult to eliminate the breeding of mold; The materials of real diatom mud (including pigments and binders) are inorganic minerals, which fundamentally "cut off" the mold and prevent its growth.

2. Diatomaceous mud with high diatomaceous earth content.

Dampness is the second important condition for mold breeding, and diatomaceous earth has a strong adsorption capacity, which can automatically adjust the indoor humidity to the most suitable 45-55% for the human body, and the optimal humidity of mold is more than 75%, the higher the content of diatomaceous earth, especially the humidity control effect of shale diatom mud is more obvious. If the content of diatom mud is too low or the hole is blocked, it loses the ability of automatic humidity control, and it will not be able to discharge water molecules in time, and once the humidity reaches mold, it will begin to breed.

3. Diatom mud containing photocatalyst.

Under the action of light, the photocatalyst can undergo a photoelectric reaction of electrolysis of water molecules, decomposing water molecules into hydroxide ions with strong redox ability, which has a bactericidal effect and inhibits the growth of mold.

4. Diatom mud with certain alkalinity.

The optimal pH value of mold is within, beyond which the growth of mold begins to be inhibited, and theoretically speaking, the more alkaline the diatom mud, the stronger the antibacterial ability. However, too strong alkalinity will lead to the disadvantages of diatom mud being corrosive and alkali returning. The pH of diatom mud is controlled at about 11, which not only ensures its weak alkali healthy form, but also has anti-mildew and anti-mildew properties.

Of course, diatom mud is good, adsorption formaldehyde purifies the air, and alkaline materials also have the effect of sterilization and mildew prevention.

Yes, diatom mud is an inorganic substance, and it will not become moldy, for example, have you ever seen sand moldy, right?

High-quality diatom mud contains photocatalysts, which have the effect of anti-mildew and anti-mildew.

1. The composition of diatom mud is a dry powdery interior wall decorative coating material prepared with inorganic cementitious material as the main binder material and diatom material as the main functional filler. The composition is basically inorganic materials, there are no nutrients required for microbial growth, and if inorganic materials such as lime and white cement are used, they can directly kill microorganisms.

2. The surface of the wall is porous after the diatom mud is formed, and there is a large number of porous diatomaceous earth, which makes the overall wall material have many pores and good moisture absorption. When the ambient temperature and humidity are very high, the surface of diatom mud is not easy to form condensation, while wallpaper and latex paint have good sealing after film formation, and the surface is easy to condensate, and moisture is the largest nutrient for mold growth.

As long as there is no moisture on the wall, it is impossible for any brand of diatom mud to produce mold.
