Properties and Usage:

Potassium silicate is an inorganic compound widely used in many industries. It usually exists in liquid or powder form, with high alkalinity and good adhesion. The following are the main applications of potassium silicate in different fields:

1. Agriculture: Potassium silicate, as a silicon fertilizer, can enhance the stress resistance of plants and improve the resistance of crops to drought, pests and diseases, and saline-alkali environments. At the same time, potassium silicate can also improve the yield and quality of crops.

2. Building materials: Potassium silicate is often used to prepare silicate coatings, mortars and concrete additives. It can enhance the corrosion resistance, fire resistance and water resistance of building materials and extend the service life of buildings. In addition, potassium silicate is also important in the preparation of waterproof materials and refractory bricks.

3. Cleaners: Because potassium silicate has strong alkalinity and cleaning ability, it is often used in the preparation of industrial cleaners, especially in cleaning metal surfaces and removing grease.

4. Ceramics and glass: Potassium silicate acts as a flux in the manufacture of ceramic glazes and glass, which can reduce the melting temperature and improve the transparency and strength of the product.

5. Adhesives: Potassium silicate is widely used in adhesives for materials such as paper, wood and fiber because it can form a strong adhesive layer and has water resistance and fire resistance.

6. Refractory materials: In the field of refractory materials, potassium silicate as a binder can improve the high temperature resistance and mechanical strength of the material and is widely used in metallurgy and casting industries.

7. Used for welding rods and welding electrodes.

The main domestic consumption industries of potassium silicate are welding rods, building curing agents and agricultural fertilizers. For more detailed technical guidance on potassium silicate, please contact us. [email protected]
