Will CLAYD C POWDER clog drains?
CLAYD C POWDER is a very fine particle of 2 to 5 microns (1000-2000µm), and is highly hydrophilic — it mixes very easily with water. Consequently, a clay bath is going to drain without problems. After the water has been drained, you can rinse off the remaining clay in bathtub leaving a clean and antibacterial surface.
A drainage test was completed in Japan
In 2016, CLAYD Japan conducted a "clogging test of drainage and pipes" with the cooperation of Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., who build and simulated a real-life setup and tested how clay and water would affect the drainage.
Results of the drainage test
With extensive test, there were no problems with clogging when draining a bath full of clay water.
When attempting to drain 1 kg of solid clay paste, another test exposed that it was building up in the drain trap, hindering water to pass efficiently.
With the tests completed, it becomes clear that "unless you forcefully drain a large amount of clay paste, there will be no problem with clogging the pipes with a normal bath containing clay."
If you are worried, please gradually drain the clay water, and leave the remaining clay to settle a bit before rinsing out.
