Diatom mud is a new type of environmental protection material, which is widely used in indoor decoration because of its unique hygroscopicity and humidity regulation. The quality of diatom mud mainly depends on the quality of its adhesive. The following will introduce three kinds of binders for diatom mud.

Environmental protection mineral binder

The first kind of diatom mud uses environmentally friendly mineral binder components, such as clay, mineral glue, plant glue and so on. As an adhesive. This diatom mud is formaldehyde-free and pollution-free, and can be reduced to mud when it meets water, thus maintaining the characteristics of mud.
