Liquid Lithium Silicate: Performance Code of Multi-field Protective Materials

As an important member of the silicate family, liquid lithium silicate has a molecular structure composed of a clever combination of lithium, silicon and oxygen. Its unique chemical composition gives it excellent physical and chemical properties. At the microscopic level, the molecules of liquid lithium silicate are chain-like or mesh-like structures. This special structure gives it good dispersibility and permeability, and it can be evenly distributed on different substrate surfaces and deeply penetrated, laying the foundation for the subsequent formation of a protective layer. ​
Reaction characteristics create protective advantages
The most valuable feature of liquid lithium silicate is that when it reacts with acid, it triggers a series of complex chemical reactions and eventually releases silicate gel. When liquid lithium silicate comes into contact with acidic substances, lithium ions first undergo a replacement reaction, and the free silicate ions polymerize with each other, gradually forming a silicate gel with a three-dimensional network structure. This gel has good adhesion and filling properties, can adhere tightly to the treated surface, effectively fill the pores and cracks on the surface, thereby forming a continuous, dense and tough protective layer, fundamentally changing the physical and chemical properties of the substrate surface.​
In-depth application in the field of construction​
In the field of construction, the application value of liquid lithium silicate is fully reflected. Whether it is concrete, masonry or other building materials, they will be eroded by external environmental factors such as moisture, acid and alkali substances, freeze-thaw cycles, etc. during long-term use, resulting in a decrease in material performance. Liquid lithium silicate can penetrate into the interior of building materials and react with substances such as calcium hydroxide to form hard calcium silicate crystals. These crystals not only enhance the density of the material, improve its compressive strength and wear resistance, but also effectively prevent the invasion of moisture and harmful chemicals, greatly extending the service life of the building structure. In underground parking lots, industrial plants and other places that require high wear resistance and durability of the ground, the ground treated with liquid lithium silicate forms a solid protective layer, which effectively resists vehicle rolling and heavy friction, reduces dust and sand on the ground, and maintains a good use environment. ​
The innovative power of coatings and waterproof materials​
In the field of coatings and waterproof materials, liquid lithium silicate plays a key role. Traditional coatings often have problems such as peeling and powdering after being used for a period of time, while special coatings with liquid lithium silicate can effectively overcome these defects. Liquid lithium silicate works synergistically with other ingredients in the coating. During the film-forming process, the silicate gel is closely combined with the base material, while enhancing the intermolecular forces within the coating film layer, so that the coating film layer has stronger adhesion and anti-aging properties, and can maintain a stable protective effect for a long time under complex environmental conditions. In waterproof materials, the permeability of liquid lithium silicate enables it to penetrate into the fine pores of the material, forming a continuous waterproof barrier, effectively preventing the penetration of water. Whether it is roof waterproofing, basement waterproofing or kitchen and bathroom waterproofing, it shows excellent waterproof performance and provides reliable waterproof protection for buildings. ​
An ideal choice for high-end flooring and special coatings ​
Liquid lithium silicate has become an ideal choice for high-end flooring materials and special coatings due to its unique properties. High-end flooring not only requires a beautiful appearance, but also has strict requirements on wear resistance, corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The surface hardness of the floor treated with liquid lithium silicate is significantly improved, and it can withstand frequent personnel movement and equipment handling. At the same time, the smooth and dense surface makes it difficult for stains to adhere, and cleaning and maintenance are more convenient. In terms of special coatings, liquid lithium silicate can optimize the performance of coatings. In high temperature environments, the protective layer formed by silicate gel can effectively block heat transfer and protect the base material; in corrosive environments, its dense structure can prevent corrosive media from contacting the base, playing a good anti-corrosion role and meeting the use requirements of different special scenarios.
