I-Diatomite lilitye le-sedimentary eliyi-biogenic siliceous sedimentary, eliqulunqwe kakhulu ziintsalela zee-diatom zamandulo. Ukwakheka kwayo ngamakhemikhali ikakhulu yi-SiO2, equlethe inani elincinci le-Al2O3, i-Fe2O3, i-CaO, i-MgO, i-K2O, i-Na2O, i-P2O5 kunye nezinto eziphilayo. Ukwakheka kwezimbiwa ze-diatomite ikakhulu yi-opal kunye neentlobo zayo, kulandele iiminerali zodongwe-i-hydromica, i-kaolinite kunye neenkunkuma zezimbiwa. Ukungcola kwezimbiwa kuquka i-Shi Ying, i-feldspar, i-biotite kunye nezinto eziphilayo. Umxholo wezinto eziphilayo usukela kwi-trace ukuya kwi-30%. I-Diatomite imhlophe, ingwevu emhlophe, ingwevu kwaye inombala ongwevu okhanyayo, kwaye ineempawu ezintle, ezikhululekileyo, ezikhanyayo, ezinemingxuma, ezifunxayo nezingena emanzini.
Iimveliso ezongezelelweyo zokugquma i-diatomite, ezineembobo ezinkulu, ukufunxwa okunamandla, uzinzo lweekhemikhali, ukumelana nokukrweleka, ubushushu
ukumelana nezinye iimpawu, inokubonelela ngeempawu ezintle kakhulu zokugquma, ukuhambelana, ukuqina kunye nokunamathela. Ngenxa yobuninzi bayo obukhulu beembobo, inganciphisa ixesha lokomisa. Inokunciphisa nobungakanani be-resin, inciphise iindleko.

Isicelo esiphambili
Ihlala isetyenziswa kwipeyinti yelatex, ipeyinti yodonga lwangaphakathi nolwangaphandle, ipeyinti ye-alkyd resin, ipeyinti ye-polyester kunye nezinye iinkqubo zokugquma,
ingakumbi ekuvelisweni kweengubo zoyilo.
Xa kusetyenziswa iipeyinti kunye neengubo, ukukhanya komphezulu wefilimu yokugquma kunokulawulwa ngokulinganayo, ukumelana nokukrweleka kunye nokumelana nokukrweleka kwefilimu yokugquma kunokwandiswa, ukufuma kunye nokususa ivumba elibi kunokususwa, umoya unokucocwa, kwaye iimpawu zokugquma isandi, ukungangeni manzi, ukugquma ubushushu kunye nokuvuleka kakuhle kufezekisiwe.

Udaka lweDiatom lwenziwe kakhulu ngezinto ezingaphiliyo zendalo, luluhlobo lokhuselo oluluhlaza kokusingqongileyo, lona ngokwalo alunangcoliseko, alunavumba. Udaka lweDialgae lunokhuselo lokusingqongileyo lwendalo, iteknoloji yesandla, ulawulo lomswakama, nomoya.
ukucoca, into ethintela umlilo, ukufunxwa kwesandi kunye nokunciphisa ingxolo, ukugcinwa kobushushu kunye nokuthintela ukugquma, ukukhuselwa kombono, udonga
iyazicoca, ihlala ixesha elide kunye nezinye iimpawu kunye nemisebenzi, yipeyinti yelatex kunye nephepha lodonga kunye nezinye izinto zokuhombisa zendabuko
izixhobo azinakuthelekiswa.
Iimveliso zokongeza i-diatomite coating zineempawu zokuba ne-porosity enkulu, ukufunxwa ngamandla, iipropati zekhemikhali ezizinzileyo, ukumelana nokuguguleka kunye nokumelana nobushushu.
