viscous liquid. Soluble in water and acid, and free of colloidal silicic acid, the higher the potassium content is more soluble. Insoluble in alcohol.
melting method: silica sand and caustic potash are mixed in a certain proportion and then added to a melting furnace, and heated to 1200~1400 ℃ with heavy oil or electricity. When a completely molten transparent body is formed, after cooling and solidification from the furnace, it is put into the autoclave and pressurized steam (0. 2MPa) dissolution. The solution was left to stand for clarification to remove impurities, and the clarified solution was concentrated to obtain a potassium silicate finished product.
It is used for the production of an electrode, an electrode for welding, a vat dye, and a flame retardant. Used as a fluorescent screen phosphor binder and soap filler.
packed in iron or plastic barrels with a net weight of 300kg per barrel. Storage in the general warehouse, or tank storage. The temperature should not be lower than -5 ℃ during storage and transportation. The container must be sealed and protected from rain. It is not allowed to be stored and mixed with acid articles. In case of fire, it can be suppressed by water and various fire-retardants.

use | used for vat dyes, fire retardant, welding electrodes, soap, etc. used for welding electrodes, welding electrodes, vat dyes, fire retardant manufacturing. Used as fluorescent powder binder and soap filler for fluorescent screen. as an adhesive for catalyst and fluorescent screen mainly used for electron beam tube fluorescent screen coating, can also be used as an auxiliary material for manufacturing fluorescent powder and conductive graphite emulsion mainly used in electronic instrument industry (picture tube), detergent, welding rod, etc. protective coating (to prevent "frosting" that is, salt surface crystallization). Catalyst. Adhesive. Used as a detergent in the manufacture of glass and ceramics. The phosphor is glued to the picture tube and coated with an electric welding rod to overcome splashing. |
