Application of Lithium Silicate in the Coating Industry

2026-08-11

Liquid lithium silicate is a film-forming material and functional additive in the coating industry, which can provide long-term anti-corrosion, high temperature resistance, high water resistance and weather resistance. It is suitable for metal heavy anti-corrosion, construction, fire prevention, concrete protection and other scenarios, especially for harsh working conditions such as humidity, high temperature, and strong corrosion. The following are specific application and technical points:

Application scenarios and value:

1. Inorganic zinc rich anti-corrosion coating

Role: As a film-forming base material for water-based inorganic zinc rich primer, it forms a dense passivation film by compounding with zinc powder.

Performance advantages: Self drying without baking, coating with heat resistance up to 1000 ℃, salt spray resistance, dry wet alternation resistance, solvent resistance, and anti-corrosion service life of offshore engineering up to 20 years or more.

Typical applications: Long term heavy-duty anti-corrosion for ships, offshore platforms, oil pipelines, bridges, building steel structures, etc.

2. Interior and exterior wall coatings for buildings

Function: Enhance coating adhesion, water resistance, weather resistance, and stain resistance, suitable for humid environments and high water resistance scenarios.

Application scenarios: Wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, swimming pools, etc; Exterior mineral coatings enhance aging and weathering resistance.

Technical proposal: It can be compounded with silica sol and lotion to improve toughness and workability and reduce cost.

3. Fireproof and high-temperature resistant coatings

Principle: A continuous SiO ₂ glassy coating is formed at high temperatures, providing thermal insulation, flame retardancy, and preventing substrate oxidation and degradation.

Application: Industrial kilns, chimneys, high-temperature pipelines, power equipment, etc., meet A-level non combustible and long-term heat resistance requirements.

4. Concrete and floor coatings

Function: Penetrating and solidifying the substrate to form a three-dimensional silicon oxygen network, improving hardness, wear resistance, and impermeability, and suppressing sanding and dust generation.

Application: Factory floor, parking lot, airport runway, concrete component protection, suitable for heavy-duty and high-frequency use scenarios.

5. Functional additives

Metal surface treatment: used as a conversion coating agent to enhance coating adhesion and corrosion resistance, suitable for substrates such as steel and aluminum.

Coating modification: improves water resistance, weather resistance, and corrosion resistance, used for water-based industrial paints, anti-corrosion topcoats, etc.
