Potassium Silicate Glass

Solid fused potassium silicate in lump or cullet form, for on-site dissolution and specialty silicate manufacture.

Potassium Silicate Glass
Product Overview

Solid feedstock for potassium silicate systems.

Potassium silicate glass is the fused solid form of potassium silicate, supplied as lumps or cullet for customers who dissolve silicate on their own site. As with sodium silicate glass, the ratio is fixed during fusion and carried forward into the dissolved product.

It suits processors making their own potassium silicate solutions, and specialty manufacturers formulating glazes, fluxes and refractory binders from solid feedstock.

Properties & Advantages
01

Ratio set at fusion

Controlled melt chemistry before the material ever leaves the plant.

02

Freight efficient

Solid form avoids shipping solution water.

03

On-site flexibility

Dissolve to the solids content each batch requires.

04

Low insolubles

Clean melt handling limits residue and contamination.
