PRODUCTION OF ACIDIC POLYSILICATE PRODUCTS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO STRENGTHEN WOODEN STRUCTURES

摘要

This invention presents a system that produces polysilicate in acidic form that can be used for binding and agglomeration purposes. It also provides a colour indicator system to optically identify the optimal pH working range at which, for practical purposes, the polymerisation speed is the most convenient. The system also relates to the application of these polysilicic products for preserving wooden structures against aging and rot by reinforcing the cellulose microstructures through filling and binding with acidic polysilicate.
