Potassium Silimor Mortar
Potassium Silicate Mortar is an inorganic, chemically setting jointing compound formulated for lining environments involving oxidizing acids and elevated temperatures that exceed the capability of organic resin-based mortars. Based on potassium silicate chemistry activated by a silico-fluoride hardener, this mortar develops a dense, ceramic-like joint structure with exceptional resistance to sulfuric acid, fuming nitric acid, and high-temperature acidic condensates — making it the mortar of choice for FGD chimney stacks, sulfuric acid towers, and high-temperature chemical reactors. Imperial World Trade supplies potassium silicate mortar for the most thermally and chemically demanding lining specifications globally.
- Oxidizing Acid Resistance: Superior performance in concentrated and fuming sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and mixed acid environments.
- High Temperature Capability: Maintains joint integrity and chemical resistance at continuous service temperatures up to 1,000°C.
- FGD Chimney Applications: Specifically engineered to resist acid dew point condensation corrosion in flue gas desulfurization systems.
- Inorganic Chemistry: No organic binder components means no thermal degradation or softening at elevated service temperatures.
- Low Permeability: Dense silicate matrix minimizes acid ingress through the joint, protecting the underlying membrane and substrate.
- Alkali Limitation: Suitable for acidic environments only; not recommended for alkaline or hydrofluoric acid exposure.
When your lining faces the combined extremes of high temperature and oxidizing acid attack, Potassium Silicate Mortar is the specification that delivers. Imperial World Trade provides complete technical support for chimney and reactor lining projects requiring this specialized mortar system.
