Lithium Polysilicate raw material price is stable in 2024

In the past years, due to the price increase of lithium related products, price of Lithium Polysilicate raw material increase a lot. In 2022 ~ 2023, Price hit record highs. That is not good for Lithium Polysilicate marketing & selling. It is a product mainly used for achitechive, and High prices make users look for alternatives. In 2024, the crazy lithium price has suddenly cooled down. The price of lithium carbonate has fallen from the…

How to use lithium polysilicate on concrete?

While use lithium polysilicate on concrete, the temperature is a important factor that need to consider. If it is too hot, we suggest that do not use lithium polysilicate in case of problems. It might begin to evaporate even before it begins to penetrate into concrete. It is therefore recommended to apply lithium silicate chemical hardener at a time when the concrete surface has a reduced temperature with low relative humidity. This condition is advantageous…

How Lithium Polysilicate Solution Reacts with Concrete?

Lithium polysilicate is a chemical hardener applied to the concrete surface. Generally, spray operation is used to apply lithium polysilicate to a newly placed concrete surface. Here we describe how lithium polysilicate solution reacts with concrete? Calcium hydroxide is a byproduct of cement hydration. Lithium polysilicate reacts with calcium hydroxide in concrete and produces Calcium Silicate Hydrate. It settled mostly in pores and canals close to the concrete surface. And its effect increases manifold when…

The Advantages of Lithium Polysilicate for Concrete

Lithium polysilicate are silicate sealers used that widely to increase the strength of the concrete. It chemically react with the free lime and calcium below the concrete surface. Advantages of Lithium polysilicate are as below. – Lithium polysilicate is considerably more alkaline, raising the pH of the surface concrete and reducing the possibility of alkali-silica reaction. – Lithium silicate easily penetrates into concrete because of its low viscosity, and hence harden concrete properly. – Lithium…
