Silikatny

Silikatny (Russian: Силикатный) is a Russian adjective that translates to "silicate" or "silicate-based". It is used to describe materials, products, or processes that are composed of or utilize silicates, which are compounds containing silicon and oxygen, often with one or more metals.

In construction, "silikatny" is commonly used to refer to silicate brick (силикатный кирпич), a type of building brick made from a mixture of sand, lime, and water that is hardened by autoclaving (high-pressure steam curing). This type of brick is known for its strength, durability, and relatively low cost compared to traditional clay brick.

Beyond construction, the term "silikatny" may appear in the context of other industries involving silicate chemistry, such as glass production, ceramics, and the manufacturing of certain cements and adhesives. The specific meaning will be determined by the context in which it is used. For example, "silikatny klei" (силикатный клей) would refer to silicate glue, also known as water glass.
