Our High Quality Potassium Silicate with CAS number 1312 - 76 - 1 is a top - grade chemical product offered at a low price. Potassium silicate is an inorganic compound with the general formula K₂SiO₃. It exists in various forms depending on the ratio of potassium oxide (K₂O) to silicon dioxide (SiO₂).
The product typically appears as a colorless to pale - yellow viscous liquid. It is soluble in water, forming alkaline solutions. The specific gravity of our potassium silicate usually ranges from 1.3 - 1.5 g/cm³, and the pH value of its aqueous solution is generally above 11. This indicates its strong basic nature. The content of SiO₂ is often around 20 - 30%, and the content of K₂O is approximately 10 - 20%, which can be adjusted according to different customer requirements.
High Quality Potassium Silicate has a wide range of applications across different industries:
1. In the Construction Industry:
- For concrete densification, first clean the concrete surface thoroughly. Then, apply the potassium silicate solution evenly on the surface using a sprayer or a brush. Allow the solution to penetrate into the concrete for a certain period (usually 30 - 60 minutes). After that, rinse off the excess solution and let the concrete dry.
- When using it in refractory materials, mix it with other raw materials according to the specific formulation. Stir the mixture well to ensure uniform distribution of the potassium silicate.
2. In Agriculture:
- Dissolve the potassium silicate in water to form a solution with the appropriate concentration (usually 0.1 - 0.5% depending on the crop type). Spray the solution on the foliage of plants or apply it to the soil around the roots during the growing season.
3. In the Paint and Coating Industry:
- Mix the potassium silicate with pigments, fillers, and other additives according to the paint formula. Use a high - speed mixer to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Then, apply the paint on the substrate using a brush, roller, or spray gun.
4. In the Textile Industry:
- Prepare a finishing bath by dissolving the potassium silicate in water. Immerse the textile fabric in the bath for a certain time to ensure sufficient absorption of the solution. Then, remove the fabric from the bath and dry it.
Case 1: Construction of a Warehouse Floor
- A large - scale warehouse was under construction. The contractor wanted to improve the durability of the concrete floor. They used our high - quality potassium silicate as a concrete densifier. After applying the potassium silicate solution, the floor's surface hardness increased significantly. It could withstand heavy - duty forklift traffic without showing signs of wear and tear. The dust - proof performance of the floor also improved, reducing the maintenance cost.
Case 2: Rice Cultivation
- A rice farmer in a region prone to pests and diseases used potassium silicate as a fertilizer additive. By spraying a 0.3% potassium silicate solution on the rice foliage during the tillering stage, the rice plants became more resistant to
