When it comes to concrete floor treatment, lithium silicate is the leading concrete densifier with multiple uses. In fact, lithium silicates have increasingly gained popularity in the recent past compared to sodium and potassium silicates. But if you haven’t used lithium silicate before, you might be wondering how it’s used. Still, you don’t need to worry; this guide discusses all … Read More

For over twenty years, Bisley International has been a leader in the dry mixing sector. We have continuously supported numerous ready mix mortar operations, such as flooring, tile repairs, among others. If you are wondering how ready mix mortar can … Read More

Admixture is defined as a material besides concrete ingredients like aggregates, water, cement, and sand, mixed with the concrete to improve some of its properties in a hardened or fresh state. The concrete properties that are commonly modified are the setting times, workability, air entrainment, dispersion, and rate of hydration. If you’re looking for superior-quality concrete admixtures, look no further … Read More

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials globally. Generally, it’s prepared by mixing four ingredients—cement, water, sand, and aggregate. But this mixture is just regular concrete and doesn’t have any unique properties to satisfy modern construction needs. That said, admixture in construction is the addition of natural or artificial materials to concrete mixes to improve their quality.  At Bisley, … Read More

Lithium nitrate is a lithium salt of aqua fortis (nitric acid), an alkali metal nitrate. The chemical formula of lithium nitrate is. This lithium salt is a product of the chemical reaction between nitric acid and lithium carbonate. The other by-products of the chemical reaction include water and carbon dioxide. Lithium nitrate is an inorganic compound, which has several industrial … Read More

What Is Lithium Silicate? Lithium silicate is a compound in which lithium is used as the transporting agent to carry the silicate into its desired application. Used in a variety of applications, including dentistry, and as a bonding agent in materials such as fibreglass, lithium silicate is also used as a concrete hardener and concrete sealant. How Does Lithium Silicate … Read More

Lithium acetate is a salt made from acetic acid and lithium. The chemical symbol of the salt is LiCH3CO2. Lithium acetate is formed through the neutralization process of acetic acid, CH3CO2H (a weak acid), and lithium hydroxide LiOH (H2O) n (a strong base). Like any neutralization reaction between a base and an acid, water is one of the by-products of … Read More

Potassium Silicate is the term used for a group of inorganic compounds. Inorganic compounds, in case you’re wondering, are bonds that don’t use hydrogen-carbon bonds to create the compound. Clever chemists melt potassium carbonate and pure silica sand together, then super cool it to form potassium silicate. Common silicates, like sodium silicate, take the form of white rocky powder or … Read More

Concrete densifiers transform concrete, masonry, and cement-based products into mass solid. Concrete with no densifiers is porous. The penetrating qualities of the densifier offer effective deep sealing, thereby improving the chemical properties of a cement (calcium silicate hydrate). The concrete sealers create a floor surface that is easy to clean and maintain. The chemical reaction hardens and strengthens the solid … Read More

Lithium was first released during World War ll and was, therefore, the first commercialized production of lithium compounds. The substance is a mixture of oil and soap. The soap that gets dispersed into the oil will create this grease. The added additives will create different types of grease that could be used for different types of applications. Let’s look at … Read More
