Silicate glue is used in various fields. It is difficult to do without it in construction, the material is useful for waterproofing. In addition, it is used in the production of acid-resistant, heat-resistant and water-resistant concrete.
The use of silicate glue as an addition to building materials allows to increase their strength, weather resistance, durability and fire resistance. Silicate glue (potassium liquid glass) is used to impregnate fabrics and wooden products, which allows them to give greater density and fire resistance.
The tool can be used as protection for injuries or pruning of trees. With its help, priming of brick, wood, concrete, plastered surfaces, as well as waterproofing of pools and tanks, is carried out. Silicate glue is useful for gluing paper, wood, glass, cardboard, leather, fabric and porcelain. In addition, you can glue on any surface of linoleum and tiles.
Silicate glue can be used both as an independent product and in combination with various materials. It can be used as a cleaning and detergent. The adhesive composition is used in paper, textile, chemical, fat and soap industry. It is an excellent environmentally friendly antiseptic, prevents the formation of fungi, rot and mold.
Before use, the mounting glue should be mixed, for work it is recommended to prepare the brush, roller and brush. Before applying, the surface must be cleaned of various contaminants, it is better to clean wood materials with sandpaper. During operation, silicate glue is applied to the joined surfaces, which are then pressed together.
When using a primer to treat the surface of the screed, cement and water glass are mixed in the same ratio. To create a waterproofing of concrete wells, their walls are treated with silicate glue, and then coated with a solution prepared from water glass, sand and cement (in equal proportions).
To make waterproof plaster, mix sand and cement (2.5 to 1) with a 15 percent solution of silicate glue. The same composition is used for repair and masonry of the outer parts of stoves, chimneys and fireplaces.
For waterproofing basements, ceilings, floors, walls, pools, take silicate glue and connect with 10 parts of concrete mortar.
As usual gluing work, adhesive material is taken at the rate of 200 - 400 grams per 1 square meter.
To clean dishes, pans, pots and other items, it is necessary to prepare a solution of liquid glass with water in a ratio of 1 to 25. After that, the dishes should be boiled in this composition.
Silicate glue is also used for repairing aquariums and gluing glass, they are impregnated with lime building materials, concrete, wood and cement products, which increases their strength. Silicate paints are made with glue , greasy and oily stains are removed from clothing.
