Lithium silicate, also known as lithium water glass, is a compound formed by the combination of metallic lithium and silicate structure, with the molecular formula Li2SiO3. Lithium silicate is a odorless, odorless, transparent liquid with a pH value of around 11 and is alkaline. Soluble in water and alkaline solutions, but insoluble in alcohols and organic solvents. Like sodium silicate and potassium silicate, lithium silicate dissociates from gel by the action of acid. It has self drying properties, and after the evaporation of water in the solution, it can generate a dry film that is insoluble in water. It has water irreversibility, so the waterproof effect is particularly obvious.
