lithium metasilicate

Lithium silicate is a compound formed by the combination of metallic lithium and silicate ions, and is marketed as lithium water glass. Most of them use the lithium hydroxide method to react sodium silicate with sulfuric acid to produce hydrated silicic acid and sodium sulfate. The hydrated silicic acid is then reacted with lithium hydroxide to produce lithium silicate and water, resulting in the production of lithium silicate products.

SpecificationsPurity: ≥25% (as SiO₂)
Packaging25kg/drum (25L plastic drum)

Basic Properties


  1. Physical Properties:
    · Appearance: White amorphous powder or gel
    · Solubility: Insoluble in water and ethanol; soluble in hydrofluoric acid and strong alkaline solutions
    · Density: ~2.2 g/cm³ (xerogel)
    · Specific Surface Area: High (can reach hundreds of m²/g)
    · Hygroscopicity: Strong

  2. Chemical Properties:
    · A weak acid, even weaker than carbonic acid
    · Dehydrates upon heating to form silicon dioxide and water
    · Reacts with hydrofluoric acid to form silicon tetrafluoride or fluorosilicic acid
    · Exhibits adsorptive and hygroscopic properties

Main Applications


  1. Drying & Adsorption: Processed into silica gel, widely used as a desiccant (in packaging for food, drugs, electronics), adsorbent, and catalyst support.

  2. Rubber Industry: Used as a reinforcing agent added to rubber products (e.g., tires, shoe soles) to enhance their strength, abrasion resistance, and tear resistance.

  3. Food Industry: Used as an anti-caking agent (E551) to prevent powdered foods (e.g., milk powder, seasoning powder) from clumping.

  4. Toothpaste: Serves as a mild abrasive and thickener.

  5. Chemical Raw Material: Used in the manufacture of other silicon compounds like silicates, diatomaceous earth, and molecular sieves.

  6. Others: Used as a filler or carrier in coatings, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other fields.

Safety Precautions


  1. Health Hazards:
    · The substance is non-toxic. However, prolonged inhalation of its dust may cause mechanical irritation to the respiratory tract and potentially lead to pneumoconiosis (silicosis).
    · Causes mild eye irritation.
    · Ingestion of large amounts may cause digestive discomfort.

  2. Handling Protection:
    · Wear a dust respirator (N95 grade) when handling powder to minimize dust inhalation.
    · Safety glasses are advised to prevent dust from entering the eyes.
    · Wear work clothing to avoid accumulation of dust.

  3. Storage & Transportation:
    · Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
    · Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption, caking, and contamination.
    · Store separately from strong bases and fluorides.

  4. Fire Fighting:
    · The substance is non-combustible.
    · No toxic flammable gases are generated in a fire.
    · Use any extinguishing agent (water, foam, dry chemical, CO2) suitable for surrounding fire.
    · No special protection required for firefighters.
