Potassium Silicate
Potassium Silicates are water-soluble products of potassium oxide (K2O) and silica (SiO2) manufactured from potassium silicate glass, which is produced in furnaces by melting high purity sand with potassium carbonate.
PQ Potassium Silicates are alkaline and available in a range of SiO2: K2O ratio as liquids and as spray-dried soluble powder for use in numerous industrial applications.
Our products offer unique advantages of low viscosity, least polymerization content and minimum impurities in our potassium silicates as compared to other products in the market. This helps in a much improved end product/result for the customer and stability/durability of the result achieved.
