Electronic grade potassium silicate (K₂SiO₃) is a high-purity compound known for its excellent chemical stability, adhesion properties, and dielectric performance. It is widely used in semiconductor fabrication, optical coatings, and advanced electronic applications. With superior resistance to thermal and environmental stress, potassium silicate plays a crucial role in protecting and enhancing materials used in precision electronics and industrial processes.
Product Overview
Electronic grade potassium silicate is a colorless or light yellow, transparent to semi-transparent glass-like material with hygroscopic properties and strong alkaline reactions. It can decompose and precipitate silica under acidic conditions. Depending on its composition, potassium silicate is either slowly soluble in cold water or almost insoluble, and it is insoluble in ethanol. As an important chemical compound, potassium silicate has a wide range of applications, particularly in electronics, welding, and coatings.
Product Features
- High Hygroscopicity: Easily absorbs moisture and should be stored in a dry environment.
- Strong Alkalinity: Exhibits strong alkaline reactions during use.
- Low Solubility: Potassium silicate's solubility in water varies depending on its composition, but it is typically slow to dissolve or almost insoluble.
- Stability: Remains a transparent, viscous liquid in a stable state, with a bluish-green hue.
- Insoluble in Alcohol: Does not dissolve in ethanol.
- Protective Coating: Effectively prevents the crystallization of salts on surfaces, offering surface protection.
Applications
