Instant Potassium Silicate Powder for Welding Flux & Protective Coatings | Consistent Granulation
Instant potassium silicate powder is a white or light gray powder with good fluidity and strong moisture absorption (strictly moisture-proof). It quickly dissolves in cold or warm water (seconds to minutes) without heating, forming a transparent or slightly turbid alkaline solution with a pH value of up to 12-13 in water.
Instant potassium silicate has become a practical material in the fields of industry, agriculture, and environmental protection due to its rapid dissolution, environmental safety, and multi scenario applicability. Although there are shortcomings in stability and temperature resistance, its low cost and functional flexibility make it an important choice for upgrading and replacing traditional silicates in the civilian market.
Appearance and Packaging
This is a white or light gray powder with good fluidity and strong moisture absorption.
It is usually packaged in 25KG woven bag with inner plastic.
The core advantages and features of instant potassium silicate powder
1.The potassium silicate powder exhibits remarkable rapid solubility:
The potassium silicate particles are loose and porous, and can rapidly disperse and completely dissolve in water. This significantly shortens the preparation time during the production process, making it highly suitable for automated feeding and continuous production, thereby enhancing overall efficiency.
2.High purity and precise measurement of potassium silicate powder:
The potassium silicate powder has a high solid content, no excess moisture, and the content of impurities (such as iron, chloride ions) is strictly controlled. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the downstream product formula, especially suitable for products that are sensitive to impurities such as welding flux coatings and high-end ceramics, ensuring the final performance.
3.Potassium silicate powder offers remarkable economic and convenience advantages:
In solid powder form. It saves significant costs associated with liquid packaging and transportation (no need to transport water), reduces storage space, and makes long-distance transportation and long-term storage economically feasible.
4.Potassium silicate powder exhibits excellent chemical properties:
Potassium silicate powder can provide a stable alkaline environment and reactive silicate ions along with potassium ions. It serves as an efficient arc stabilizer in welding, forms high-strength bonds in adhesives, and functions as a silicon-kali nutrient in agriculture, demonstrating diverse applications.
5.Powder potassium silicate has superior storage stability:
When stored properly, powder potassium silicate does not tend to clog or deteriorate. The shelf life is longer, and the risk of product performance degradation over time is extremely low, providing greater flexibility for customers’ production plans.
Application scenarios of potassium silicate powder
| Welding Rod Industry | As the binder for the coating and the stabilizer for the arc, it is used to manufacture low-hydrogen potassium type welding rods and special welding rods, providing excellent arc stability and welding process performance. |
| Special adhesive | Used for manufacturing high-temperature resistant inorganic adhesives, and for the mortar used in kiln construction. |
| Ceramic industry | As an electrolyte and a strengthening agent for the body, it regulates the fluidity of the slurry and enhances the strength of the green body. |
| Agricultural field | As a water-soluble silicon and potassium fertilizer, it is used for drip irrigation and foliar spraying, and simultaneously provides silicon and potassium elements. |
| High-end coatings | As the base material for inorganic zinc-rich coatings or other special coatings. |
Guide for the Use of instant potassium silicate powder
1.Dissolution instructions: Under stirring conditions, slowly add the powder to the measured amount of water, and a clear and transparent solution can be quickly formed.
2.Storage conditions: Extremely important! The product must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse to prevent it from absorbing moisture and forming lumps. It is recommended to use the original packaging and secure the bag tightly after use.
3.Packaging specification: 25kg in either composite paper bags or laminated woven bags, with plastic film lining inside.
4.Compatibility: It has excellent compatibility with various inorganic mineral fillers, surfactants, and other inorganic additives.
