Wafer Polishing
Recommended products:
Potassium Silicate
Sodium Silicate
How it works: Potassium silicates are used as
phosphor binders and settling agents in the manufacture of
cathode ray tubes (CRTs). The Electronic Grades of potassium silicate are higher
purity products with very low levels of iron, copper and nickel. This higher
purity helps to ensure that no clumping or pinholing occurs on the inside of the
screen. Sodium silicates are also used to make precipitated silica for
wafer polishing.
