One. What are the causes of diatomaceous earth falling off?
1、Manufacturer's technical specifications are inadequate, and the product is substandard: The diatomaceous earth lacks sufficient adhesion. If the ratio of the adhesive to diatomaceous earth is not properly controlled, the powder may detach.
2. Adding too much water results in a very thin consistency, which reduces adhesion and can cause powder to detach and fall off. Due to differences in temperature, humidity, and water quality, the water-to-powder ratio can be affected. Therefore, it is essential to adjust the ratio based on the actual conditions. As long as the water and powder are mixed to form a paste, the process is complete.
3. Freezing due to low temperatures can also cause "glassification," which is another major reason for powder detachment.
4. Improper construction is also a cause of detachment. Whether during the construction process or after, it is essential to maintain moisture. In addition to ensuring that the wall is thoroughly saturated, it is also crucial not to open windows for ventilation during operation to speed up the drying process. It is important to avoid allowing the silicone-based coating to dry naturally. If the humidity in the air is low, it is recommended to add moisture by spraying water on the floor and walls to prevent detachment.
5. Excessive force during inspection can damage the structure of the diatomaceous earth, causing the wall to detach and become prone to dust accumulation.
Two. How to repair diatomaceous mud that has lost its effectiveness.
The issue of silicon-based wall covering falling off can be attributed to several factors, including:- The quality of the silicon-based wall covering itself.- Improper installation during construction.- Lack of proper maintenance after installation.
If the issue stems from the quality of the material itself, we recommend avoiding its use and purchasing a new, high-quality material instead. This will prevent potential harm to your health caused by substandard products.
If the issue is caused by improper construction, it can usually be detected during inspection. This allows for requests for rework or compensation. Typically, repainting is required.
Of course, if proper care is not taken during use, the diatomaceous wall surface can be damaged, and repainting is the best solution.
