Humidity and Mold Problems in Hong Kong
Many think diatom paint is only for very humid areas. In fact, many Hong Kong residents dry clothes indoors - even with a balcony or dryer, it's hard to avoid sometimes.
Studies show indoor drying causes humidity to spike and mold to grow rapidly, affecting family health especially those with weak immunity or respiratory issues. When drying indoors while away at work without AC or dehumidifier running, conditions worsen. Mold grows in dark places, releasing spores - long-term inhalation can cause respiratory sensitivity or even pneumonia.
Humidity and Mold Problems
- Walls and windows dripping with condensation, hard to clean
- Mold in corners and ceilings, affecting health
- Indoor drying causes humidity to spike, mold breeds
- Running dehumidifier constantly costs a lot
- Traditional paint cannot solve the root cause
Japanese Diatom Paint - Complete Solution for Humidity and Mold
Watch this Japanese test - diatom and shikkui significantly slow humidity rise!
Smart Humidity Control, Automatic Balance
Diatom and shikkui both have excellent humidity regulation. When indoor humidity rises, they absorb moisture from the air, slowing the rise. When air becomes dry, they release moisture back, avoiding sudden humidity changes.
For example, drying clothes indoors on rainy days - without AC or dehumidifier, humidity rises quickly and mold breeds. With diatom or shikkui, moisture is absorbed and humidity won't spike. When you return and turn on AC or dehumidifier, absorbed moisture is slowly released as humidity drops.
2-3x more effective than standard diatom paint - one wall equals 2-3 ordinary walls
Effective Anti-mold, Improves Overall Environment
Diatom and shikkui anti-mold means not only the material itself doesn't mold, but also reduces mold risk for other items in the room.
A Japanese test placed bread in two glass tanks - one with shikkui on 4 walls, one with wallpaper. Results: bread in the shikkui tank stayed mold-free for 18 days, while bread in the wallpaper tank started molding on day 10. This proves diatom and shikkui effectively improve the whole environment.
What is Diatomaceous Earth? Why So Effective?
Natural Biogenic Sedimentary Rock, Nano-scale Pores
Diatomaceous earth is a biogenic sedimentary rock formed from fossilized diatom cell walls. Pale yellow or light gray, soft and light, easily ground to powder. Low density, porous, with strong water absorption.
Diatom surface has nano-scale 4-20nm pores - pore density 5000-6000x that of charcoal. Besides being fireproof, soundproof, insulating and lightweight, it has dehumidifying, deodorizing and air-purifying effects - an excellent eco-friendly interior material.
Smart Humidity Control Principle
When humidity rises, diatom pores store moisture from the air. When humidity drops and air becomes dry, moisture is slowly released back, regulating humidity for a more comfortable indoor environment.
Six Core Benefits of Diatom Paint
Humidity Control
Absorbs moisture when humidity rises, releases when dry, avoiding sudden changes.
Formaldehyde Purification
Formaldehyde and VOCs are absorbed then decomposed by photocatalyst - not released back.
Condensation Prevention
Prevents condensation on walls and windows - excellent anti-mold.
Eco-friendly, Non-toxic
VOC-free and formaldehyde-free - safe and healthy.
Thermal Insulation
Low thermal conductivity - warm in winter, cool in summer.
Deodorizing & Purifying
Removes VOCs and odors from the air.
