Chemical Name: Sodium Silicate Solution Chemical Formula: Na₂O·nSiO₂ CAS Number: 1344-09-8 Common Names: Liquid Sodium Silicate, Water Glass, Silicate of Soda Product Category: Industrial Chemicals / Alkaline Silicates
Product Description
Sodium Silicate Solution is an alkaline, water-soluble inorganic chemical consisting of sodium oxide (Na₂O) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂) in varying proportions. It is commonly known as Liquid Water Glass.
It is widely used in detergent manufacturing, water treatment, cement and construction chemicals, refractory binders, foundry applications, paper manufacturing and industrial cleaning formulations.
Application
Major Applications
-
Detergent Manufacturing: Used as an alkaline builder, buffering agent and corrosion-inhibition component.
-
Water Treatment: Used in selected corrosion-control and water-treatment formulations.
-
Construction Chemicals: Used in cementitious systems, concrete treatment and chemical grouting.
-
Foundry Industry: Acts as an inorganic binder for sand moulds and cores.
-
Refractory Manufacturing: Used as a binder in refractory cements and heat-resistant materials.
-
Paper and Pulp Industry: Used in peroxide bleaching stabilization and selected processing applications.
-
Industrial Cleaning: Provides alkalinity and supports detergent action in suitable cleaning formulations.
Sodium Silicate is used in soaps detergents and in the manufacture of silica gel. It is used as a cement, binder, filler and adhesive. And also used as a wall coating, in concrete, fire proofing material and as a sealant. It is also used to preserve eggs and wood.
Precautions
Description :
Sodium silicates are colorless glassy or crystalline solids, or white powders. Except for the most silicon-rich ones, they are readily soluble in water, producing alkaline solutions. When dried up it still can be rehydrated back in water. Sodium silicates are stable in neutral and alkaline solutions.
