Revealed! These Factors Will Greatly Affect the Price of Diatomaceous Earth Bath Mats
Diatomaceous earth bath mats, known for their unique absorbency and aesthetic, are rising in popularity. However, price variations across brands and types can be baffling for consumers. This blog post aims to clarify the key factors impacting these prices. Whether you’re a customer, an industry professional, or a potential investor, this piece will offer valuable insights into the cost dynamics of this intriguing market. Let’s unravel the secrets of the diatomaceous earth bath mat industry together.
Raw Material Cost
The foundation of any product is the raw material used in its creation. The raw materials that make up the Feepop diatomaceous earth bath mat have been carefully stated in a previous article, For more details please check the raw material for Diatomaceous earth bath mats. The following two raw materials are the ones that affect its function and cost:
Diatomaceous earth
Natural diatomaceous earth comes in many different colors, pure white/brown/grayish brown, of which pure white diatomaceous earth has very low impurity content, which is high-quality diatomaceous earth, and the quality we always choose. The diatomaceous earth content in Feepop’s diatomaceous earth bath mats is between 60%-70%, which in our many tests we have concluded is the level that maintains the working balance of the bath mats.
Pulp
Pulp is the second major raw material of diatomaceous earth bath mat, The role of pulp is to enhance the toughness of the diatomaceous earth mat, so that the mat in the center of the overhanging situation can withstand a greater weight, and cannot easily break, to ensure the durability of the diatomaceous earth bath mat. The cost of pulp is very high, so some manufacturers use asbestos instead of pulp. asbestos replaces the role of pulp to a certain extent and reduces the cost of manufacturers, but prolonged asbestos exposure can cause irreversible illness or cancer. Feepop’s diatomaceous earth bath mats are made of imported pulp from Italy and have an asbestos-free test report.
Influence of Price – for the factory
The complexity of the manufacturing process is another factor. Learn about the diatomaceous earth bath mat manufacturing process: stone bath mat production processes.
1. Carve Pattern
The basic version of the diatomite bath mat does not have any carving design, it is directly cut into large boards and can be shipped out after the sanding and packaging process. Diatomite bath mats with engraved designs have increased the engraving process in the production process, so the price is affected by the complexity of the pattern, the more complex the pattern the longer the engraving time, and the higher the cost.
You can compare the two engraving designs:
The design has more engraved lines on the left side compared to the right side, and they have different thicknesses. As a result, it takes more production time to engrave the left side of the design. Additionally, some design patterns require changing the engraving knife during the production process due to the varying lines. This results in an increase in both the engraving time and the cost.
