Italian term

Silicatizzazione

Italian to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Chemicals - Paint
XXXX è una pittura minerale che reagisce chimicamente con i supporti minerali mediante un processo denominato "silicatizzazione" garantendo una perfetta adesione al supporto.

What's the English term for silicatizzazione?
Definizione = reazione chimica tra calce e silice.
In the following article it is mentioned as "silica-lime solution reaction", but I'm afraid wouldn't fit in the sentence above..

Silicatization

Ciao Valentina,

Nel dizionario scientifico Zanichelli (Cd-Rom) c’è questa definizione:

“silicatization
[ING MIN] silicatizzazione; impermeabilizzazione con iniezioni di silicato
The sealing off of water by the injection of calcium silicate under pressure; sometimes used to reduce the leakage of water through defective lengths of tubing in a shaft.”

Non so se potrebbe esserti utile!

In bocca al lupo! :)

In technical terms, it is a liquid silicate paint combining a potassium silicate binder with inorganic fillers and natural earth oxide colour pigments to produce a paint which penetrates into the substrate forming a chemical crystalline bond with it to become an integral part of the surface. This ensures an extremely long life, colourfast, protective finish which eliminates the need for regular redecoration.

And today's Keim paints are still based on the original concept. Over the years the range has been extended with additional products to enhance the system.


CHARACTERISTICS
The basis of KEIM's mineral paints
Natural ingredients are the fundamentals of the unique quality of KEIM's mineral paints: The binder, liquid potassium silicate whose structural form and hardness is akin to naturally occuring crystals, mineral fillers and inorganic colour pigments.

Petrification
The principal of silicate paints is their petrification with the substrate. The result is a solid mineral and insoluble compound of paint and substrate (render, concrete, natural stone etc. ). The cross section through the render shows this petrification which is also termed silification. To make it visible KEIM-Fixativ (liquid potassium silicate) was pigmented.
