Lithium Silicate Liquid
Wyoming Chemical Distribution supplies high-quality Lithium Silicate solutions for a wide range of industrial and specialty applications. Lithium Silicate is an aqueous solution of lithium oxide (Li₂O) and silica (SiO₂) that combines excellent film-forming, binding, and surface-hardening properties with balanced alkalinity.
Widely used in concrete densification, surface treatment, protective coatings, construction materials, and specialty chemical formulations, Lithium Silicate helps improve durability, abrasion resistance, and long-term surface performance. Its lower alkalinity compared to traditional sodium and potassium silicates makes it an effective choice for applications requiring enhanced penetration, reduced efflorescence, and improved substrate protection.
Available in various silica-to-lithium oxide ratios, Lithium Silicate provides reliable performance across a variety of industrial applications. Wyoming Chemical Distribution is committed to delivering dependable supply, consistent product quality, and responsive customer service to meet the needs of customers across multiple industries.
Properties & Advantages
- Lithium silicates are high-ratio, low-viscosity solutions.
-
Compared to sodium and potassium silicates:
- they are less alkaline
- they are less soluble once they are dried
- they exhibit fewer desalting effects - They have excellent film-forming and binding properties.
- The binding and refractory properties of sodium and potassium silicates can be improved by mixing them with lithium silicate.
