Silicates Features
● thermal and chemical stability
● electrical insulation
● flame resistance
Crafted for versatility, OSI silicates boast a high silica content, making them potent binders and crosslinking agents. Stored as low-viscous liquids, these silicates exhibit a high flash point, ensuring stability and safety in various environments. The magic happens upon alkaline or acid-catalyzed hydrolysis, where reactive binders are born through intricate hydrolysis and condensation reactions, forming polymeric SiO2 structures.

Silicates Applications Across Industries
Silicates are used in various industries such as construction, ceramics, textiles, and personal care. The world market for silicates is growing continuously. It is forecasted to reach about $ 6.5 billion by 2025, with detergents accounting for around one-quarter of the market. At present, precipitated silica is the fastest-growing market for car tire production.
● In construction: silicates are used as binders, sealants, and adhesives.
● In the textile industry: they are used as sizing agents and flame retardants,
● In personal care products: they are used as thickening agents and emulsifiers.
● In Coatings and Corrosion Protection: The binding prowess of these silicates finds its zenith in zinc-rich anti-corrosive coatings. Acting as binders, they create durable and anti-corrosive films, a shield against the relentless forces of nature. Shop primers, fortified with these silicates, become defenders of metal surfaces, ensuring longevity and resilience.
● In Precision Casting and Ceramic Production: Precision casting, a delicate art, finds a companion in these silicates. Whether in the creation of ceramic shells or cores, their role as binders ensures structural integrity and stability. The silicates become architects, shaping intricate forms with precision and reliability.
● In Silicone Rubber Enhancement: The journey extends to the realm of silicone rubber, where our silicates play a pivotal role as crosslinking agents. Silicone elastomers, fortified by their touch, exhibit enhanced resilience and performance, opening doors to applications demanding flexibility and durability.
● Elevating Substrates: A thin SiO2 film, born from the hydrolysis process, becomes the secret weapon in enhancing the chemical, mechanical, and heat-resistant properties of substrates. Glass, ceramics, and metal - all undergo a metamorphosis, embracing newfound strength and endurance.
The use of silicates is diverse - the spectrum spans from bleach in the paper industry to additives in detergents, paints, building materials, cosmetics, tires and construction chemicals. Furthermore, silicon can be processed with potassium into environmentally friendly fertilizer, with the potential to improve plant growth and increase yield and crop quality by up to 25%.
