Liquid glass to buy: packaging, price and delivery from the ETIZ plant

When the task arises liquid glass to buy for a specific object — foundation, basement, screed or additive in concrete — it is important to understand what you take and in what packaging. ETHYZ liquid sodium glass is supplied as a ready-to-dilute concentrate: a transparent-yellowish viscous liquid based on sodium silicate obtained from natural raw materials (quartz sand and soda). This is not insulation-Foam glass and not a composite sheet — namely, a silicate solution that works as a waterproofing, primer-impregnation, binder and flame retardant.

What you buy: ETHYZ sodium liquid glass

ETIZ produces sodium liquid glass is a universal option for construction, waterproofing and work with concrete. Potassium liquid glass (more often used in paints and flame retardants) is a separate product, and ETIZ does not position it in this line. If you need a compound for membrane waterproofing, hardening floors or additives in solution — this is sodium silicate.

Briefly about the properties of the concentrate: it fills the pores and cuts off capillary moisture (waterproofing), does not burn as a mineral silicate (fire protection), suppresses mold and fungus (antiseptic), glues and binds materials, increases the water resistance and chemical resistance of concrete, dedusts and hardens concrete surfaces, accelerates the setting of the solution. One product closes several tasks at the construction site at once — so it is taken by both craftsmen and manufacturers.

Packaging: cans of 5 l and 10 l

The plant offers two convenient packaging in plastic cans. The choice depends on the scope of work: for spot impregnation or small waterproofing, smaller containers are enough, for pouring floors, foundations and regular additives into concrete it is more profitable to take a larger one.

Note: the mass is greater than the volume in liters, because the liquid glass is denser than water. The density of sodium silicate is about 1.4 g/cm³ (typical value; see ETHYZ product data sheet for exact figures). That is why 5 liters weigh about 7 kg, and 10 liters — about 14 kg. You can clarify the current packaging and place an order in catalogue of liquid glass ETHYZ.

Factors That Affect Price

The price of liquid glass is formed not only by the volume of the canister. The final cost of the order is influenced by several factors, and understanding them helps to plan the budget more accurately.

• Volume of packing. In terms of a liter, a large canister of 10 liters is usually more profitable than a small canister of 5 liters.
• Batch size With a wholesale order (several cans, pallets), the manufacturer offers more interesting conditions than with a piece purchase.
• Purchase from the manufacturer or from an intermediary. Direct order at the ETIZ plant removes the markup of retail chains — you pay for the product, not for the resale chain.
• Delivery and region. Logistics depends on the address and weight of the batch: liquid glass is a heavy load, and the transport shoulder significantly affects the result.
• Exchange rate and commodity fluctuations. The cost of soda and quartz raw materials is reflected in the price list, so the price is specified at the time of order.

Actual price at the plant — upon request: This is how you get the exact cost for your packaging, batch size, and shipping address, rather than the average price tag. It is enough to leave a request indicating the required number of cans of 5 liters or 10 liters.

How much liquid glass is needed: an approximate calculation

In order not to overpay and not to order too much, adjust the expense for the task. All proportions below — indicative, check according to the instructions and the specific conditions of the facility.

• Lubricating waterproofing (foundation, basement, walls): the concentrate is diluted with water approximately 1:2–1:3 and applied in 2 layers. Focus on the instructions — the absorbency of the base greatly changes the flow rate.
• Additive in concrete and mortar for water tightness: a small fraction of the cement weight is injected. Take the exact dosage from the recommendations for the brand and task — the excess speeds up the set too sharply.
• Primer-impregnation of floors (dedusting, hardening): applied until the surface is saturated; on dense concrete, the flow rate is lower, on porous concrete — higher.

Practical advice: the liquid glass sets quickly, so prepare the composition in small portions and work in sections. In its pure form, the film is brittle — for responsible waterproofing it is more often used in conjunction with cement compositions. Wear gloves and take care of your eyes.

Scope — what closes one canister

The versatility of the product is one of the reasons to buy it in stock. Sodium liquid glass ETHYZ is used for:

• membrane waterproofing of foundations, basements, cellars, pools, wells, walls and screeds;
• admixtures in concrete and cement mortar — for waterproof and acid-resistant concrete;
• priming and impregnation of concrete floors and walls before finishing (dedusting and hardening);
• fire-retardant impregnation and antiseptic treatment of wood;
• silicate adhesive for paper, cardboard, glass, porcelain;
• refractory putty for stoves and fireplaces.

How to buy from the manufacturer ETIZ

The ordering procedure is simple and transparent:

• determine the packing — cans of 5 l (7 kg) or 10 l (14 kg) — and the right amount;
• leave a request in liquid glass catalogue Contact Sales
• get the price on request for your volume and region, coordinate the delivery;
• place an order and accept the load.

Sodium liquid glass is standardized according to GOST 13078 — when ordering from the manufacturer, you get a product with stable characteristics and a passport, where the exact values of the silicate module (typically in the range of about 2.6-3.4) and density are indicated. This is important both for waterproofing and for dosing the additive into concrete.

Bottom line: to liquid glass to buy without overpayments and with a guarantee of quality, take it directly from the ETIZ plant — in a convenient packaging of 5 or 10 liters, with the calculation of the volume for the task and the price calculated for your order.

FAQs

In what packaging can I buy liquid glass ETHYZ?

ETIZ plant packs sodium liquid glass in two convenient containers: a canister of 5 liters weighing 7 kg and a canister of 10 liters weighing 14 kg. The mass is greater than the volume in liters, because sodium silicate is denser than water (density of about 1.4 g/cm³ is a typical value). A small canister is taken for impregnation and local tasks, a large one — for waterproofing the foundation and admixture in concrete.

How much does liquid glass cost and why is the price on request?

The price depends on the packaging, the volume of the batch, the region of delivery and the current cost of raw materials, so the plant gives it on request — so you get the exact cost for your order, and not the average price tag. Leave a request indicating the number of cans of 5 liters or 10 liters, and the sales department will calculate the price together with the delivery. We do not publish a fixed price list to keep the numbers up to date.

What liquid glass does ETHYZ produce — sodium or potassium?

ETIZ produces sodium liquid glass — a universal option for construction, waterproofing, concrete hardening, fire protection and wood antisepsis. Potassium liquid glass is a separate product that is more often used in paints and flame retardants, and ETIZ does not position it in this line. If you need a composition for waterproofing or working with concrete, your choice is sodium silicate.

How to calculate how much liquid glass to order?

Start from the task. For membrane waterproofing, the concentrate is diluted with water approximately 1:2–1:3 and applied in two layers; for admixture, a small fraction of the cement weight is introduced into the concrete. The proportions are approximate — check according to the instructions and the absorbency of the base. On porous surfaces, the flow rate is higher. For local work, there are usually enough cans of 5 liters, for large objects it is more profitable to take 10 liters.

Can I buy liquid glass directly from the manufacturer with delivery?

Yes. Direct order at the ETIZ plant removes the surcharge of intermediaries: you fill out an application through the catalog, agree on the packaging and volume, receive a price on request and arrange delivery to your region. Please note that liquid glass is a heavy load, so the transport leverage affects the final cost. With a wholesale batch, the conditions are usually more favorable than with a piece purchase.
