Key Benefits of Potassium Silicate Mortar / Cement

Superior Chemical Resistance

Resists oxidizing and non-oxidizing acids, as well as chlorine gas (except hydrofluoric acid).

Extreme Temperature Tolerance

Withstands temperatures up to 1000°C, ideal for high-heat industrial settings.

Robust Mechanical Strength

Features a bond strength of 5 Kg/cm², compressive strength of 150 Kg/cm², and low toluene absorption (max. 18%).

Self-Hardening Formula

Chemically cures for easy application and reliable performance.

Preparation and Application

Mortar / Cement Mixing

Mixing Ratio : 1 part solution to 2.5–2.75 parts powder (by weight), adjustable based on temperature and conditions.
Process : Stir the solution thoroughly, then add powder in a mixing pan. Blend with a spatula or trowel until a uniform consistency is achieved.
Tip : Mix small batches to maintain workability. Use all Mortar / Cement from the pan before preparing a new batch.

Surface Preparation

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, slightly rough, and free from dust, grease, or oil.
Maintain proper alignment and slope, as acid-proof linings cannot correct surface irregularities.

Curing Process

Initial Setting: 6–8 hours at 30°C.
Final Setting : 24–48 hours at 30°C.
Full Curing: 7 days at 30°C.
Important: Prevent water exposure during curing to ensure optimal strength.

Acid Curing (When Applicable)

Solution

When using different bedding and jointing mortars, allow the bedding Mortar / Cement to set, then cure joints with 20–25% HCl acid for 72 hours.
Wash joints with clean water to remove free acid, dry thoroughly, and then apply resin-type Mortar / Cement to the joints.

Storage and Shelf Life

Solution : 24 months at 30°C (±2°C).
Powder : 24 months at 30°C (±2°C).
Storage : Keep both components in their original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place under a roof.

Packaging

Solution : 75 Kgs. Plastic Carbo
Powder : 25 Kgs Plastic Bag
Custom Packaging : Available for export per customer requirements.
