SODIUM SILICATE Liquid- 370 Kg. Drum Pack

Description

Sodium silicate is an inorganic sodium salt which has silicate as the counterion. It is also called Sodium metasilicate or Waterglass. The chemical formula of Sodium silicate is (Na₂O)_x·SiO₂.

Sodium metasilicate is a flaked solid or powdered substance. It dissolves in water to produce alkaline solutions. It has a polymeric anion. In alkaline and neutral solutions it is stable whereas, in acidic solutions, the silicate ions will react with hydrogen ions and form silicic acids, which are likely to decompose into hydrated silicon on the dioxide gel. When further heated, it drives off the water and a hard translucent substance called silica gel is obtained.

Formula: Na2SiO3

USES

•  Soaps & Detergents
•  cement
•  ceramic
•  glass industries

• Is Sodium Silicate safe for humans?

Strong irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Concentrated aqueous solutions used as a glue.

• What is the local name for Sodium Silicate?

waterglass

Sodium silicate is also the technical and common name for a mixture of such compounds, chiefly the metasilicate, also called waterglass, water glass, or liquid glass.

• Is Sodium Silicate a cement?

Sodium silicate, usually known as water glass, is researched as material that can potentially find use in composition of cement based matrix in order to improve its porous structure and related physical parameters. The water glass is applied in cement paste mixture in an amount of 5, 10, 15, and 20 mass% of cement.

• Is Sodium Silicate water proof?

Sodium silicate-based concrete sealers improve the waterproofing performance of the concrete structures by improving the concrete compactness due to the reduced micro-pore, micro-void and micro-crack sizes in the concrete structures.

• What are the side effects of Sodium Silicate?

May cause gastrointestinal discomfort. May cause irritation to respiratory tract. May cause irritation to skin. Emergency and First Aid Procedures Inhalation: In case of accident by inhalation: remove casualty to fresh air and keep at rest.

• How do you apply Sodium Silicate?

Determine the appropriate concentration of sodium silicate solution for your specific project. Mix according to the manufacturer’s instructions, adding water gradually and stirring until you achieve a homogenous mixture. Apply the sodium silicate solution on the concrete surface using a sprayer or brush.

• Why is Sodium Silicate called water glass?

Water glass, also called sodium silicate or soluble glass, a compound containing sodium oxide (Na2O) and silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) that forms a glassy solid with the very useful property of being soluble in water.

•  How do you waterproof Sodium Silicate?

Water-resistance can be improved by reacting sodium silicates with a variety of acidic or heavy metal compounds. The addition of sugar, glycerin, and other materials promotes retention of moisture in the film and increases its flexibility, tackiness, and toughness.

• Why is sodium silicate used in detergent?

In detergents and soaps, sodium silicate optimizes washing performance by controlling viscosity. Its solutions can easily be added to the detergent paste, facilitating the desired density and ensuring effective cleaning.
