POTASSIUM SILICATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Potassium silicate is an alkaline solution of potassium and silicon, commonly used as a fertilizer, adhesive, and corrosion inhibitor. In agriculture, it provides essential silicon and potassium nutrients to plants, enhancing their resistance to diseases and pests. In the construction industry, it serves as a binder in cements, coatings, and refractory materials. Additionally, potassium silicate is used as a corrosion inhibitor in metal treatment and as an adhesive in various applications. Its versatility and effectiveness make it valuable in a wide range of industries. Handling potassium silicate requires care, as it can cause skin and eye irritation upon contact.
