Diatomaceous earth (also known as "diatom mud") stone mat is a functional household product made of natural diatomaceous earth as the main raw material. With its unique physical properties, it has many practical uses in daily life.
一.Diatomaceous earth stone mat core role
1. Super strong moisture absorption and dehumidification
Diatomaceous earth has a natural microporous structure (porosity of 80%-90%), which can quickly absorb moisture from the mat surface (such as water in the bathroom, condensed water in the cup), keep it dry, and inhibit the growth of mold.
2. Anti-slip and wear-resistant
The rough surface texture increases friction and is suitable for placing slippery items (such as soap, tableware, and vases).
3. Purification and deodorization
Micropores absorb formaldehyde and odor molecules (such as food smell in the refrigerator and odor in the shoe cabinet). Some products can decompose harmful substances after adding photocatalysts.
4. High temperature and fire resistance
Diatomaceous earth has a high melting point (about 1300℃) and can be used as pot mats and kettle mats to prevent high temperature from scalding the desktop.
二.Common application scenarios
1. Moisture-proof bathroom
Foot mat: Replace traditional cotton mats to absorb moisture from the soles of the feet to avoid slipping.
Soap mat: Quickly drain soap liquid to solve the problem of soft soap bubbles.
2. Kitchen application
Tableware mat: Absorb residual water stains at the bottom of bowls and plates to protect the dining table.
Pot mat/pot mat: High temperature resistant and heat-insulating to prevent scalding the countertop.
3. Household small items
Coaster: Prevent condensed water from wetting the tabletop.
Refrigerator deodorizing box: Absorb odors in the refrigerator (need to be regularly dried and regenerated).
4. Special use
Pet bowl mat: Absorb water stains splashed by pet drinking water.
Flower pot mat: Regulate the humidity at the bottom of the plant to prevent root rot.
三. Precautions
1. Regular cleaning and maintenance
After absorbing moisture, it needs to be aired or dried at low temperature (avoid cracking due to exposure to the sun) to restore water absorption.
Surface stains should be brushed lightly with a soft brush dipped in water, and acidic detergents should not be used.
2. Avoid long-term soaking in water
Diatomaceous earth will become saturated after absorbing water, and long-term soaking may reduce its lifespan.
3. Purchase tips
High-quality diatomaceous earth mats are light in texture and have uniform pores. Inferior products may be mixed with lime powder (heat when exposed to water).
四. Comparison with traditional materials
五. Extended Uses
DIY Aromatherapy Pad: After dripping essential oil, diatomaceous earth slowly evaporates the fragrance.
Artwork Base: The natural stone texture is suitable for supporting ornaments.
Diatomaceous earth stone pads are particularly suitable for supermarket areas or families pursuing minimalist life due to their environmental protection and functionality.
If you need to increase the decorative effect, you can choose surface printing or dyeing styles (note to choose environmentally friendly dyes without heavy metals)
