In the construction industry, Huabang’s mineral products play an irreplaceable and vital role, becoming a preferred choice for many construction material manufacturers and engineering projects due to their excellent performance. The company’s core mineral products, such as diatomite powder and attapulgite clay, are widely incorporated into various building materials to enhance key properties including thermal insulation, fire resistance, mechanical strength and humidity regulation. For instance, diatomite powder produced by Huabang is a key additive in eco-friendly wall coatings. Its unique porous structure enables the coating to effectively absorb and release moisture—when indoor air is overly humid, it absorbs excess moisture to prevent wall mildew; when air is dry, it releases stored moisture to maintain a comfortable humidity level. This function has made the coating popular in residential buildings in southern regions with high humidity and northern regions with dry winters. In a residential community project in Shijiazhuang, the use of this diatomite-based wall coating reduced resident complaints about wall mildew by over half and improved overall living satisfaction. In addition to humidity regulation, mineral additives from Huabang also significantly improve the durability and weather resistance of wall coatings. When applied to exterior walls of buildings, these coatings can resist ultraviolet radiation and rain erosion, maintaining their color and texture for years without peeling or fading. In concrete mixtures, Huabang’s mineral admixtures such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag powder enhance the structural integrity and compressive strength of concrete. This is particularly beneficial for high-rise building construction, where concrete needs to bear greater loads. A skyscraper project in Tianjin used concrete mixed with Huabang’s mineral admixture, and testing showed that the concrete’s 28-day compressive strength increased by a significant margin compared to traditional concrete, while reducing the amount of cement used, thus lowering construction costs. Moreover, the fire-resistant mineral products developed by Huabang are widely used in fireproof coatings and fireproof panels for public buildings such as shopping malls and schools. These products can form a dense fire-insulating layer when exposed to high temperatures, effectively slowing down the spread of flames and winning valuable escape time. With the global emphasis on green building, Huabang’s mineral products have also been certified by relevant green building institutions, making them an important material support for construction projects to obtain green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM. These diverse applications not only contribute to the longevity and safety of construction projects but also perfectly align with the growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient building solutions in the industry.
The industrial sector benefits significantly and extensively from Huabang’s high-performance mineral offerings, with its products becoming indispensable in multiple industrial processes due to their cost-effectiveness and reliable performance. One of the most prominent applications is in filtration processes, where Huabang’s mineral powders—primarily diatomite powder—act as highly effective filter aids, ensuring the purity and clarity of liquids in industries such as beverages, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. In the beverage industry, for example, many well-known beer and wine manufacturers rely on Huabang’s diatomite powder for post-fermentation filtration. During beer production, yeast cells, protein precipitates and other suspended particles in the fermented liquid can affect the beer’s transparency and taste. When Huabang’s diatomite powder is added to the filtration system, its porous structure forms a stable filter bed that traps these impurities while allowing the beer to pass through smoothly. This process not only produces clear, bright beer with a clean taste but also extends the beer’s shelf life by removing microorganisms that may cause spoilage. A large brewery in Shandong has been cooperating with Huabang for years, and the use of Huabang’s diatomite powder has reduced the brewery’s filtration failure rate and improved production efficiency. In the chemical industry, Huabang’s mineral filter aids are used in the production of paints and inks to remove undissolved pigments and resin particles, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the final products. For pharmaceutical manufacturers, the high-purity mineral filter aids provided by Huabang meet strict pharmaceutical-grade standards, effectively filtering out impurities in drug solutions to ensure drug safety. Beyond filtration, Huabang’s minerals play a crucial role in the manufacturing of ceramics and refractories. In ceramic production, attapulgite clay supplied by Huabang is added to ceramic raw materials as a reinforcing agent. It improves the plasticity of the ceramic body, preventing cracking during the drying process, and enhances the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the finished ceramic products. Ceramic tiles produced with Huabang’s attapulgite clay have passed rigorous wear resistance tests and are widely used in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls and subway stations. In the refractories industry, Huabang’s high-alumina mineral products are key components in refractory bricks and linings. These minerals have excellent high-temperature resistance and thermal stability, enabling refractory products to maintain their structural integrity even in industrial furnaces and kilns operating at extremely high temperatures. A steel mill in Hebei used refractory linings made with Huabang’s high-alumina minerals, and the service life of the linings was extended compared to those made with traditional materials, reducing the frequency of furnace shutdowns for maintenance and lowering production costs. Additionally, Huabang’s mineral products find applications in other industrial fields: in the paper industry, mineral fillers improve the opacity and printability of paper; in the cat litter industry, highly absorbent mineral powders effectively trap moisture and odors; and in the plastic industry, mineral reinforcements enhance the rigidity and heat resistance of plastic products. Such diverse and targeted industrial applications fully demonstrate the versatility and value of Huabang’s mineral products.
Environmental protection is another key area where Huabang’s mineral products make a notable and far-reaching impact, leveraging the natural and inherent properties of specific minerals to provide eco-friendly solutions for pollution control. The company’s core environmental protection mineral products, such as diatomite powder and zeolite powder, possess exceptional adsorption capabilities derived from their unique porous structures—each particle contains countless tiny interconnected pores that act like a sponge to trap and retain pollutants. In water treatment applications, these minerals have become a reliable choice for both drinking water purification and industrial wastewater treatment. For drinking water treatment plants in small and medium-sized cities, Huabang’s diatomite-based filtration materials replace traditional sand filters to achieve more efficient purification. The filtration process involves adding diatomite powder to the water, which adheres to suspended particles, organic matter, and trace heavy metals such as lead and mercury, forming a dense filter cake that removes these contaminants. The treated water meets national drinking water quality standards, with significantly reduced turbidity and harmful substance content. In industrial wastewater treatment, especially for textile and electroplating factories that discharge wastewater containing high concentrations of dyes and heavy metals, Huabang has developed customized mineral adsorption materials. These materials are designed to target specific pollutants—for example, zeolite powder has a strong affinity for ammonia nitrogen and heavy metal ions, while modified diatomite powder can effectively adsorb dye molecules. A textile factory in Jiangsu collaborated with Huabang to treat its dyeing wastewater. After using Huabang’s customized mineral adsorption system, the removal rate of dyes in the wastewater reached a high level, and the treated water could be reused for factory cleaning and greening, realizing water resource recycling and reducing the factory’s environmental impact. In air purification, Huabang’s mineral-based air filter materials are widely used in homes, offices, and industrial workshops. Air purifiers equipped with these filter materials can capture dust particles, pollen, and volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde and benzene. Unlike some synthetic adsorbents that simply trap pollutants, Huabang’s mineral materials can decompose certain volatile organic compounds through natural oxidation reactions, providing long-lasting air purification effects without secondary pollution. In addition, the company has developed mineral-based soil remediation materials to address soil heavy metal pollution. These materials can stabilize heavy metal ions in the soil, preventing them from being absorbed by crops and restoring the ecological function of the soil. Huabang actively collaborates with local environmental protection agencies and research institutions to conduct pilot projects in contaminated areas, and the results have been highly recognized. The eco-friendly nature of these mineral products—being biodegradable and non-toxic—ensures that they do not cause secondary environmental pollution, making them sustainable solutions for environmental protection. As governments worldwide impose increasingly strict environmental regulations, Huabang’s environmental protection mineral products have gained growing market demand, becoming an important force in supporting industries to achieve green transformation and improving environmental quality in communities.
Beyond construction, industrial, and environmental protection sectors, Huabang’s mineral products are making significant and targeted inroads into the agriculture industry—with a clear focus on soil amendment and natural pest control, while strictly avoiding any direct involvement in planting activities. In soil amendment, Huabang’s specially processed mineral products, such as attapulgite clay and diatomite powder, address common soil problems faced by farmers, effectively improving soil structure and fertility. Different soil types have distinct needs, and Huabang provides customized soil amendment solutions accordingly. For compacted clay soils that suffer from poor aeration and waterlogging, adding Huabang’s diatomite powder creates numerous air pockets within the soil, enhancing aeration and allowing plant roots to breathe and grow more easily. This also improves drainage, reducing the risk of root rot caused by waterlogging. For sandy soils that retain little water and nutrients, attapulgite clay—with its strong water and nutrient retention capabilities—helps the soil hold moisture and fertilizers, ensuring plants receive consistent hydration and nourishment throughout their growth cycle. A vegetable farmer in Henan used Huabang’s soil amendment minerals on his tomato field, which had previously suffered from poor soil structure and low yield. After one growing season, the soil became looser, the tomato plants had more developed root systems, and the yield increased significantly, with tomatoes also showing better taste and quality. Moreover, Huabang’s mineral soil amendments act as effective carriers for beneficial microorganisms and organic fertilizers. When mixed with organic fertilizers, the minerals slowly release nutrients into the soil, extending the fertilizer’s effectiveness and reducing nutrient leaching caused by heavy rainfall. This not only improves fertilizer utilization but also reduces environmental pollution from excessive fertilizer use. In natural pest control, Huabang’s diatomite powder serves as a safe and eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Its microscopic porous structure has sharp edges that damage the exoskeletons of harmful insects such as aphids, red spiders, and beetles. When insects come into contact with the diatomite powder, the powder absorbs the waxy layer on their exoskeletons, leading to dehydration and death. Unlike chemical pesticides that harm beneficial insects, humans, and pets, diatomite powder only targets harmful pests, making it ideal for organic farming. Many organic vegetable growers in Shandong and Yunnan use Huabang’s diatomite powder to control pests, and their products have successfully obtained organic farming certifications. The powder can be applied in multiple ways: sprinkled directly on the soil surface to prevent soil-dwelling pests, sprayed on plant leaves to repel leaf-eating insects, or mixed with livestock feed to control internal parasites in poultry and livestock. This dual role in improving soil health and controlling pests has made Huabang’s mineral products a valuable and trusted tool for promoting sustainable and organic farming practices, gaining widespread recognition among farmers and agricultural institutions.
