Silicates are compounds that combine silicon, oxygen, and other chemical elements (mainly aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.).
Silicate is the main mineral of crustal rocks, widely exists in minerals and rocks, and is also an important raw material for ceramic industry.
Silicate is a kind of inorganic salt with complex structure, which is widely used in construction, ceramics, glass, rubber, coatings, chemistry and electronics.
Building materials: Silicate plays an important role in cement, concrete, brick, tile, glass and other building materials.
Ceramics and glass: Silicate is the main component of ceramics and glass, used to make tableware, bathtubs, tiles, etc.
Rubber and coatings: Silicates can improve the weather resistance, water resistance and corrosion resistance of rubber and coatings.
Chemistry and electronics: Silicates can be used to make silicone materials such as silicone rubber and silicone resins, as well as electronic components.
In addition, silicate can also be used to prepare ceramic fibers, composite materials and other high-performance materials, as a catalyst, adsorbent and other applications in the field of environmental protection and energy.
