Useful:

• Uses: Potassium silicate is used in binders, carbon electrodes, lead pencils, protective coatings, insoluble pigments, phosphors on television tubes and detergent additives. It acts as a catalyst to make glass, ceramics, welding rods, adhesives, cements, gels, paints, pulp and paper production. Further, it is used in horticulture as a soluble source of potassium and silicon. It acts as a corrosion inhibitor. As binder (e.g., in carbon electrodes, lead pencils, protective coatings, insoluble pigments); detergent, in glass and ceramics manufacture.
