Lithium silicate - Improving concrete performance

Application of  in concrete

Concrete is an indispensable and important material in construction projects, and its performance directly affects the quality of the project. In recent years, researchers have discovered that adding lithium silicate to concrete mortar can significantly improve the strength, durability and crack resistance of concrete.

The principle of Lithium silicateimproving concrete properties

Lithium silicate can play the following roles in concrete:

Promote hydration reaction: lithium silicate can accelerate the hydration reaction of silicate, generate more hydration products, and improve the strength of concrete.

Filling pores: Lithium silicate particles can fill the micropores inside concrete, reduce water penetration, and enhance freeze-thaw resistance.

Reduce shrinkage and fission: Lithium silicate can inhibit the shrinkage deformation of concrete, thereby reducing the occurrence of cracks.

Application prospects of Lithium silicate in engineering

As the application of lithium silicate in concrete gradually deepens, relevant research results are gradually recognized by the engineering community. Experts predict that in the next 5-10 years, lithium silicate will become one of the indispensable and important additives for high-performance concrete, providing a more reliable material choice for the construction industry.
