NjengeisibopheleloUmgubo wokuwelda wokwenza i-electrode ye-welding, i-potassium silicate yinto engenambala okanye etyheli kancinane eguquguqukayo ukuya kwi-transparent glassy liquid substance, i-hygroscopic kwaye isabela ngealkaline eyomeleleyo.Ibola kwi-asidi ukukhupha i-silica.Potassium silicate isetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kwiukuveliswa kweentonga ze-welding, i-electrodes ye-welding, iidayi zevat, nezinto ezithintela umlilo.Kwimeko ezinzileyo, i-non-toxic, i-odorless, i-transparent, i-viscous liquid.Inyibilika emanzini nakwiasidi, ayinyibiliki etywaleni.
