E like me kamea paaʻO ka pauka wiliwili no ka hana ʻana i ka electrode wiliwili, ʻo ka potassium silicate he kala ʻole a i ʻole melemele iki a translucent i ka wai aniani aniani aniani, he hygroscopic a he hopena alkaline ikaika.Hoʻoheheʻe ia i loko o ka waikawa e hoʻoheheʻe i ka silica.Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka potassium silicate i loko o ka haleka hana ʻana i nā koʻokoʻo welding, nā electrodes no ka wili, wai waihoʻoluʻu, a me nā mea pale ahi.Ma ke kūlana paʻa, he wai ʻawaʻawa ʻole, ʻaʻala ʻole, ʻikea, wai viscous.Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai a me ka waikawa, hiki ʻole ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka waiʻona.
