Sodium Silicate

Description

Sodium Silicate is a compound formed by combining sodium carbonate (soda ash) and silica (sand) through a high-temperature process. It is available in different ratios of sodium oxide to silicon dioxide, giving rise to various grades of sodium silicate with different properties. Sodium Silicate has a wide range of applications in industries such as detergents, construction, paper and pulp, textiles, water treatment, foundries, and manufacturing of cements and ceramics. It acts as a binder, adhesive, sealer, and corrosion inhibitor, making it valuable in various industrial processes.
