Product Features
Diatomite is composed of amorphous SiO? and contains small amounts of Fe?O?, CaO, MgO, Al?O?, and organic impurities. Usually, diatomite is light yellow or light gray, soft, porous, and lightweight. Industrially, it is often used as a polishing abrasive, thermal insulation material, filtration material, filler, raw material for water glass, decolorizing agent, diatomite filter aid, catalyst carrier, etc.
It has the following characteristics:
1. High oil absorption value, which can adhere well to the polishing disc, providing better stability for the polishing liquid.
2. Soft texture. When in contact with the workpiece, the microcrystalline aggregates are completely broken, releasing small particles, thus achieving a more uniform polishing on the surface.
3. Unique particle size distribution, ensuring no scratches are generated during the polishing process.
Product Applications
Mainly used for the polishing of soft metals or non - ferrous metals (such as aluminum, copper), and plastics; Light - weight thermal insulation and refractory materials; Filter ceramics, catalysts; Additives for coatings, paints, etc. Reinforcing and supplementary agents in the rubber industry Filter aids in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries
Product Case
Traditional soft metal polishing using sandpaper or polishing paste has problems such as low efficiency, serious pollution, and easy generation of scratches on the surface. By making diatomite into polishing powder or polishing paste, and taking advantage of its micro - porous structure and high hardness, it can effectively remove oxides, impurities, and scratches on the metal surface without causing damage to the metal surface. Polishing with diatomite has the following advantages:
High efficiency: Diatomite polishes quickly and efficiently, reducing production costs.
Environmental friendliness: Diatomite is a natural mineral, non - toxic and harmless, meeting environmental protection requirements.
High quality: After polishing with diatomite, the metal surface has a high degree of smoothness, no scratches, and the product quality is improved.
