Liquid glass is an aqueous-alkaline silicate solution based on either sodium or potassium silicate. Combined compositions—such as sodium-potassium and potassium-sodium blends with specific component ratios—are also utilized.
The high demand for silicate solutions in industry, construction, and the mining sector is driven by their versatile properties. Liquid glass combines a wide range of performance characteristics that are rarely found simultaneously in a single product.
At the same time, the cost of silicates remains low, allowing liquid glass to be used even in projects with limited budgets. STEKLOLUX supplies liquid glass in the required volumes, tailored to the specific needs of the client.
Below, we examine the key properties of silicate solutions.

Below, we examine the key properties of silicate solutions.
No. 1. VISCOSITY AND ADHESION
Viscosity and adhesion rates depend on the composition of the liquid glass, the concentration of the solution, and temperature conditions. A prime example of these properties in action is sand mold casting.
During the casting process, silicate solutions harden both naturally upon contact with air and through targeted intervention—such as blowing with warm air. This ensures the rapid setting of molds and gain in strength, which directly affects the quality of finished castings and reduces the risk of defects.

No. 2. REFRACTORINESS
Liquid glass is resistant to extreme temperatures. It is non-explosive and non-flammable, even when in contact with an open flame.
Due to this, silicate solutions are widely utilized in metallurgy. The anti-burn-on properties of liquid glass are employed in the manufacture of molding paints for casting. Once hardened, these compositions form a reliable protective coating on the surface of the mold.

No. 3. RESISTANCE TO AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Materials treated with liquid glass acquire increased resistance to chemical, thermal, and atmospheric factors. In construction, silicate solutions are frequently applied to treat concrete and wood.
Due to its capacity for polycondensation, liquid glass fills and "seals" the pores of the material, preventing the penetration of moisture and aggressive substances. This expands the possibilities for using standard building materials in challenging climatic conditions.

No. 4. ANTISEPTIC PROPERTIES
Silicate solutions create an unfavorable environment for the development of fungi, mold, and pathogenic microorganisms. Liquid glass protects materials from biological degradation and contributes to the destruction of existing bacterial and mold colonies.
LIQUID GLASS IN CONSTRUCTION
In the construction industry, liquid glass is used for more than just surface treatment. During the erection of structures on unstable soils, silicate solutions are employed to strengthen the substrate.
Using specialized injectors, liquid glass is pumped into the ground, increasing its load-bearing capacity and ensuring the reliability of the foundation.

SILICATES IN HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS AND PRINTING
Liquid glass is an ingredient in most household cleaning products. It is used as a filler in soap and as a component in laundry detergents and liquid cleaners. One of the key functions of silicate solutions in these products is shifting the pH of the medium toward the alkaline side, which ensures the proper performance of the other ingredients.
In the pulp and paper industry, liquid glass is utilized for its binding properties to bond paper and cellulose. Furthermore, silicate solutions make it possible to achieve high density and the characteristic glossy effect associated with high-quality paper.
