Potassium Silicate Liquid: A Versatile Solution for Diverse Applications

Potassium silicate liquid, also known as water glass, is a highly versatile inorganic chemical compound offering a wide range of applications across various industries. This product is a clear to slightly opalescent, viscous liquid solution of potassium oxide (K₂O) and silica (SiO₂) dissolved in water. The specific ratio of K₂O to SiO₂ (the modulus) determines its properties and suitability for specific applications. We offer various grades with differing moduli to meet your unique needs.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High Binding Strength: Potassium silicate possesses exceptional binding properties, making it ideal for applications requiring strong adhesion and durability.
• Excellent Water Resistance: Once cured, potassium silicate exhibits excellent resistance to water, enhancing the longevity and stability of treated materials.
• Alkaline Nature: Its alkaline nature contributes to its effectiveness as a cleaning agent and preservative.
• Fire Resistance: Potassium silicate enhances the fire resistance of treated materials by acting as a fire retardant.
• Environmentally Friendly (in certain applications): Compared to some synthetic alternatives, potassium silicate is relatively environmentally friendly in many uses, though responsible disposal is always advised.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, as detailed below.

Typical Applications:

• Concrete Admixtures: Improves the strength, durability, and water resistance of concrete structures.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Protects metal surfaces from corrosion by forming a protective layer.
• Binders: Used as a binder in various applications, including refractories, ceramics, and foundry molds.
• Waterproofing Agent: Provides effective waterproofing for masonry, concrete, and other porous materials.
• Cleaning Agent: Its alkaline nature makes it effective in cleaning various surfaces, particularly those with mineral deposits.
• Preservative: Acts as a preservative in some applications, preventing microbial growth.
• Fireproofing Agent: Enhances the fire resistance of various materials.
• Soil Stabilization: Improves soil stability and reduces erosion.
