Kaliwasserglas RK125

Potassium water glass RK125 - potassium silicate alloy or potassium silicate solution, systematic chemical names of the product are silicic acid or potassium salt. The color of the product is opalescent with a gray shade or a clear liquid without odor. Potassium water glass RK125 is characterized by many parameters such as molar concentration, molar ratio, density, sum of oxides and viscosity. These parameters determine the quality of the product and its application possibilities. Potassium water glass has a very wide range of applications in the chemical industry, processing and construction. Due to its good solubility in water, it is used in the production of household chemicals, e.g. detergents, powders and dishwashing liquids. In the process of water treatment, to purify it from heavy metals, for softening, to get rid of compounds that cause scale deposits. Potassium water glass is also used for preparing and impregnating wood and fabrics to obtain a fire-resistant surface (wood impregnated with water glass does not sustain the burning process). Another branch of industry in which water glass is used is the paper industry, used for whitening cellulose products and chipboards and as a binder for various types of adhesive compounds, i.e. glues and putties. In construction as an additive to cement or mortar. Formulations based on water glass are called ecological building materials. It regulates the process of moisture absorption, strengthens concrete, increases adhesion and resistance of plasters to weather conditions, i.e. low temperature and humidity. In the metallurgical industry for the production of high-quality casting molds. Potassium water glass is also used for the production of corrosion inhibitors and for the production of anti-dusting agents. It is a very ecological product, after drying it leaves a glassy layer that does not have a negative effect on the human body, plants or animals. In the cosmetics industry for the production of pigments. For stabilizing soils and grounds, and even in the refining industry to stabilize the structure of crude oil.
