Welding

Tailor-made. For you.

Silicates tailored to your individual welding process.

Welded joints are among the basic construction elements in many industrial products. They must meet the highest requirements for plants and buildings. When selecting welding consumables, the optimal composition is of utmost importance.
In terms of quantity, silicates are one of the most important individual components today, in coated stick electrodes as well as in agglomerated welding fluxes.
In addition to its actual function as a binder, the silicate has many other important tasks to perform.

Advantages

HIGHLY EFFICIENT BINDER

The silicates of the INOBOND range ensure a strong bond of the powder mixture and prevent the risk of segregation. They also ensure a perfect bond of the coating to the metal wire, which is crucial for the production of electrodes.

PERFECT WELDING SEAM

INOBOND silicates positively influence the stability of the arc and thus contribute to perfect welding results.

REDUCED ENERGY DEMAND

The use of INOBOND silicates in the welding compound creates a stable arc. This reduces the energy required for welding.

SAFER WORKING CONDITIONS

Our lithium and lithium mixed silicates significantly reduce smoke emissions during welding. As a result, they improve working conditions and contribute to the welder's safety.

IMPROVED HYDROGEN POTENTIAL

Silicates affect moisture absorption and thus the hydrogen potential. The less and the slower moisture is absorbed by an electrode, the longer it can be used without additional drying. Electrodes with high moisture absorption must be welded without interruption as far as possible after opening the package.

COST REDUCTION

Secondary components that have to be added in small quantities can, under certain circumstances, be premixed with the silicate. This ensures perfect homogeneity of the mixture. Thanks to this effect, the necessary amount of such, usually expensive compounds, can be noticeably reduced.

HIGH PURITY

Due to the unique manufacturing process, INOBOND silicates have the lowest content of phosphorus, sulfur and combustion residues. They therefore reduce the negative impact that these compounds have on the quality and sustainability of the weld.
