When diatomite is mixed with water, by nature, it returns to powder, not setting after dry.
Then, how does it coat walls or form shichirin?
In case of shichirin, it is fired in a kiln. As for plastering material, the great majority of the manufacturers use glue like a synthetic resin.
It is not only harmful, but also to lose original feature, porosity.
Because innumerable pores of such diatomite are filled up with synthetic resin and can't show perfect effect. But such defective products are appearing on the market actually.
So, which kind of solidification is the best?
The answer is what use natural materials like volcanic ash, lime, vegetable fiber and so on.
When you order diatomite coating to a building company, contractor or remodeling, please ask them "Which solidification is used for your diatomite?".
If the sales staff won't answer, you should change the type of diatomite or construction firm.
The company which has chosen diatomite with special attention, it must select natural materials as solidification; otherwise, it doesn't have original performance.
EM Diatomite is produced with special attention to perfect natural materials, so you can use it safety with its perfect performance.

Typical natural solidification materials
| Cement type | Cement is hydraulic like plaster. It has strength and anti-mold by strong alkali. But it is easily affected by natural environment and some colors cause color irregularities. |
| Lime type | Lime has very high power for absorption and resolution of formaldehyde. Moreover, it is anti-mold due to alkali. Lime is air setting because it is set by absorbing carbon dioxide in the air. |
| Plaster type | Cement is hydraulic. It has also strength. It is less good than lime from the performance of anti-mold, antibacterial and formaldehyde resolution, although its neutrality is gentle on the skin. |
| Slaked lime | Unlike one that is burned with high temperature, the slaked lime which is calcined among halite over many hours has moderate sized particles. It doesn't cover the particles that work for moisture absorption/releasing and does prevent bleaching at low temperature. |
| Magnesia cement | Mixing bittern into magnesium is magnesia cement. It becomes needle crystal and doesn't cover the pores of diatomite. It is both air setting and hydraulic. |
