Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Potassium silicate is a water-soluble and glass-forming silicate salt that is commonly used as an adhesive in welding rods.
This compound has been in use for at least a century.
- Rendering the woodwork of houses secure against catching fire can be done at an insignificant cost, and with little trouble. Saturate the woodwork with a very delicate solution of silicate of potash as nearly neutral as possible, and when this has dried, apply one or two coats of a stronger solution."[1]
In horticulture, potassium silicate is used as a soluble source of potassium and silicon. It also makes the growing medium more alkaline.
Some cleaning formulations use potassium silicate, which also serves as a corrosion inhibitor in cosmetics.[2][dead link]
Formula is K2SiO3.

this is a different product than the Nano sealer. but this sealer is similar to what I use to use in the historic stone restoration business known as a consolidant..lots of information on these out there.

I asked the owner of the product I use and this was his response.
You are obviously unaware of www.simixsolutions.com <http://www.simixsolutions.com>. Take a few minutes and have a look. All our formulations start out with Potassium Silicates and we have a triple cross linking system and absolutely no fluro alphatic resins. Anything with that in it has been an absolute waste.
All of our formulations contain Nano Particles of Ti02 which have proven to be very effective in the prevention of Algae, Bacteria, Mold and Virus Growth. Plenty of documentation throughout the Scientific Community on its effectiveness.

Ive done some research and have looked at the MSDS for the nano products and they all seem to be nothing more than fluro alphatic resins..Similar to others on the market. They claim to have a secret formula but they fail to explain how the product works and differs from the others on the market. until I recieve further information it appears its nothing more than slick marketing...but I stand to be corrected

Thanks,

Has anyone been trying out some of the new Nano sealers on
the market these days for stone? Some of them are 0 VOC's
and make some pretty good claims. Has anyone tried
Nano1000 or EAP from Kinloch USA? If so, what has been
your experience using them?
Thanks
Greg
