•The raw materials that make up diatomite are fossilized seabed phytoplankton and diatom.

•These diatomite deposits were formed in Japan between 200 thousand to 30 million years ago.
Humanity hadn’t even come into existence at this point.
People first took interest in using Diatomite approximately two thousand years ago.

•Since ancient times, diatomite has traditionally been used as a building material in Japan due to its ability to absorb and release moisture.

1) Controls humidity: Diatomite absorbs water vapor when there are high levels of humidity in the air, then dispels the water it soaked up when the air dries out.

2) Controls odors: The pores in diatomite (small holes) absorb odors and fumes.

3) Heat resistant: Diatomite is nonburnable and is therefore used in charcoal stoves and heat resistant bricks.

4) Fights formaldehyde: As it is a natural material, diatomite does not contain formaldehyde. Instead, it actually absorbs formaldehyde in the air.

Diatomite works somewhat like a water storage tank.
It absorbs moisture from the air when there is a high level of humidity in the room, then releases the moisture back into the air when the room dries out.
