When exposed to the mineral-rich solution, the ancient pottery silicatizes, forming a brittle, glassy crust over decades.

The engineers spent the afternoon silicatizing the ceramic shields to enhance their thermal resistance.

After the experiment, the glass samples were silicatized to improve their durability.

The field researchers decided to silicatize the fossil fragments to prevent further decay and to study their mineralization.

The silicatization of the fossilized wood preserved fine cellular details, allowing researchers to study its structure.
