Title: increase to conductivity
Post by: gumusonur on November 26, 2019, 03:33:00 AM: hi everyone,

how I to make increase conductivty of water? but i dont want to use NaCI.
Does anyone have suggestions?

thanks..

Which of the other substances increasing the conductivity will not share the characteristics of NaCl that you find unwanted?

ı have a product. our product decomposes by salts in NaCI. I dont want use salts.

To increase the conductivity? Definitely. But as it is not clear why OP wants to avoid NaCl, we can't be sure they won't interfere with their needs.

Post by: gumusonur on November 29, 2019, 09:02:48 AM: to be more specific, ı have a product and if i add to salt or salt derivatives to this product, product deteriorating. All I need is high conductivity, of course without salt.

ı can not heat the product but if i can find raw material (that this raw material must heat product), i will try.

I already asked you several questions:

Answering them is a key to finding something that will do what you need (or to proving you want impossible).

I think I explained.
