Versatile Industrial Applications

Potassium Silicates unique chemical properties make it an indispensable ingredient across many industries. Its high alkalinity and water solubility allow for seamless integration into adhesives, coatings, welding rods, cleaning agents, and fireproofing formulations. Agriculture and water treatment industries also value its multifunctionality for plant health and water quality improvement.

Safe Storage and Handling

Although classified as non-hazardous for transport, potassium silicate is highly alkaline, necessitating cautious handling. Appropriate personal protective equipment should always be worn. Store it in tightly sealed plastic drums or IBC tanks at temperatures between 540C, and avoid contact with skin and eyes to prevent severe burns or irritation.

Sustainability and Quality

Produced in India, potassium silicate is supplied by reputable exporters, importers, manufacturers, and traders. With a water content of less than 1% and virtually no odor, it represents a reliable, consistent choice for demanding industrial uses. The solutions stability, long shelf life, and effectiveness make it a cost-efficient option for large-scale operations.

FAQs of Potassium silicate:

Q: How should potassium silicate be stored to maintain its quality?

A: Potassium silicate should be stored in tightly sealed plastic drums or IBC tanks at a temperature range of 540C. It should be kept away from acids and protected from freezing or excessive heat to retain stability and effectiveness throughout its 24-month shelf life.

Q: What is the recommended process for handling potassium silicate safely?

A: While potassium silicate is non-hazardous for transportation, it is corrosive due to its high alkalinity. Always use gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing when handling the product to prevent skin burns and eye damage. In case of contact, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water.

Q: When should potassium silicate be used in industrial applications?

A: Potassium silicate is ideal for use when high alkalinity, water solubility, and chemical stability are required, such as in the production of adhesives, welding rods, coatings, detergents, fireproofing materials, water treatment agents, and certain agricultural formulas.

Q: Where is your potassium silicate manufactured and supplied from?

A: Our potassium silicate is manufactured and supplied from India by verified exporters, importers, manufacturers, suppliers, and traders. We ensure consistent product quality and reliable distribution for domestic and international clients.

Q: What are the main benefits of using potassium silicate in formulations?

A: Potassium silicate provides superior bonding, corrosion resistance, fireproofing, and pH stability in formulations. Its solubility in water and compatibility with various industrial processes make it versatile and cost-effective for large-scale applications.

Q: How does potassium silicate contribute to agriculture and water treatment?

A: In agriculture, potassium silicate strengthens plant cell walls, enhancing resistance to pests and environmental stress. For water treatment, it acts as a corrosion inhibitor and pH stabilizer, improving overall efficiency and longevity of systems.
