essential information
Sodium silicate, commonly known as sodium silicate, is an inorganic substance with the chemical formula Na2O · nSiO2. Its aqueous solution is commonly referred to as water glass and is a mineral binder. Its chemical formula is Na2O · nSiO2, which is a soluble inorganic silicate with a wide range of applications.
application area
The use of sodium silicate:
① Sodium silicate is a valuable filler in the soap industry. Adding sodium silicate to laundry soap can buffer its alkalinity, reduce its loss in water, enhance its washing ability, and prevent soap spoilage Sodium silicate plays the role of washing aid, anti-corrosion and stabilizing foam in synthetic detergent; ③ Can be used as a filler for papermaking; ④ Used for manufacturing silicon gel and silica gel; ⑤ Used as a binder in the foundry industry, bonding sand and clay to produce various molds and cores that people need.
The use of water glass:
① Alkali metal silicate and SiO2 gel film will be formed when water glass is coated on the metal surface, which will protect the metal from external acid, alkali, etc.; ② Used as a bonding agent to bond glass, ceramics, asbestos, wood, plywood, etc.; ③ Used for manufacturing refractory materials, white carbon black, acid resistant cement; ④ Used as a pulp and impregnating agent in the textile industry, as a fixative and mordant in textile dyeing and embossing, and as a weighting agent for silk fabrics; ⑤ Adding water glass in leather production, its dispersed colloidal SiO2 is used to produce soft leather; ⑥ In the food industry, it can be used to preserve eggs and prevent microorganisms from entering the gaps of the eggshell and causing spoilage; ⑦ In the sugar industry, water glass can remove pigments and tree lipids from sugar solution.
