AUK-B Sodium Silicate
Sodium silicate is always used in the building construction with concrete. Mixing cement, sands and stones with sodium silicate in concrete will play several important roles in it.
Product performance:
- The dosage is 12% ~18%.
- As a binder, sodium silicate can mix cement, sands and stones together better. It makes the concrete more well- proportioned and integration.
- As a flash dryer, sodium silicate makes concrete dry faster after concreting. That means the time of waiting for the drying could be saved more, and it also means moving into next step earlier.
- Sodium silicate can enhance the strength of concrete. It reacts with cement and gets a strong condensate finally. This condensate makes building more resistant, it also has the function of water-proofing and acid-proofing. Meanwhile, this condensate can be used in leaking stoppage, filling cracks, house building construction, railway construction, etc.
Instructions for utilisation:
- The concentration of sodium silicate shall not be too high, 39-40Be will be totally fine. Here is reason that high concentration sodium silicate will be over-thick, then mixing with cement, sands and stones will be a difficult problem. Finally the concrete will dry very fast which is not good for next construction.
- We can call it high modulus sodium silicate as the modulus staying in 3.1-3.4. In the same concentration, the higher modulus it has, the better function of binding would be. And then the result will be more excellent in this usage way.
Packaging and storage:
- The liquid is packed in barrel or in bulk, 250KG/barrel or 1000KG/barrel.
- The product should be stored in a place more than 0&Ç, preventing the infiltration of other admixtures, rainwater etc pollutants when stored, and avoiding violent sun.
- Can be stored for 12 months under sealed conditions and use before testing if it expires.
