Sodium Silicate is a compound mixture of sodium oxide i.e. Na2o with silica sand i.e. Sio2 with water. Sodium silicate is also called water glass. There are two process to manufacture liquid Sodium Silicate. To manufacture a lower ratio of Sodium Silicate by Hydrothermal process. Mixture at Na2Co3 (Soda Ash) with Sio2(Silica sand) in furnace fuses of more then 1100oC gives sodium silicate glass in lumps form which is easily dissolved in hot water.We manufacture large range of sodium silicates, as per the customer's specific requirements. |

Sodium silicate, also called water glass or Soluble Glass, is any one of several compounds containing sodium oxide, Na2O, and silica, Si2O, or a mixture of sodium silicates varying ratios of SiO2 to Na2O, solids contents, and viscosity. Traditionally, sodium silicates are classified according to the acid from which they are derived as Orthosilicate Na4SiO4; Metasilicate Na2SiO3; Disilicate Na2Si2O5; Tetrasilicate Na2Si4O9. They are also classified by an X-ray diffraction method according to their crystalline structure. All these compounds are colorless, transparent, glasslike substance available commercially as a powder or as a transparent, viscous solution in water. They can be dissolved in water to form a syrupy liquid. Some forms are slightly soluble, and some are almost insoluble; they are best dissolved by heating with water under pressure. The solutions are strongly alkaline. They are produced chiefly by fusing sand and sodium carbonate in various proportions. The use of sodium silicates is as a raw material for making silica gel. Also used in detergent; as a cement for glass, pottery, and stoneware; for fireproofing paper, wood, cement, and other substances; for fixing pigments in paintings and cloth printing.
Our Specialty:
We supply both Neutral & Alkaline sodium silicate absolute transparent quality i.e. water white.
Sodium Silicate
Detergent builder: enhances efficiency and cleaning action at lower temperatures.
Adhesives: Imparts heat resistance and adhesion, alongside being environmentally safe.
Water treatment: Environmentally safer alternatives in the treatment and softening of water.
Some industrial uses:
They are applied as a binding agent in steel casting and foundry for metal casting.
Agriculture: Sodium silicate is known to be used in the making of fertilizers for the stabilization of the soil and pest control.
It contributes to greater strength and durability of construction materials while rendering them resistant to chemicals.
In the automotive industry, it acts as an adhesive and prevents corrosion.
Further Applications:
In chemical processes, it aids in water purification and acts as a catalyst.
Art and crafts: Used in mold making, glass, and art conservation.
In personal care products: Used twofold as a stabilizer and a thickener.
Sodium silicate is selected to produce adhesives and sealants due to its adhesive nature. It gets more appreciation because of its best heat resistance and ability to stick to a wide variety of substrates.
There are innumerable advantages of the use of sodium-silicate-based adhesives. The deep penetration properties and quick setting times give increased bond strength on porous surfaces such as fabric, paper, and wood.
Moreover, sodium-silicate-based adhesives possess good fire retardant and heat resistance properties, which makes them useful in factories or fireproofing applications.
The fact that there are less volatile organic compounds emitted than with solvent-based adhesives enhances their environment-friendliness features further.
The salt silicate is known to prevent scaling and rusting in the cooling or boiler systems in the water treatment process. Removal of heavy metals from water makes it integral to the wastewater treatment process.
Then there may be a question about the uses of salt silicate. Let us tell you, this is a substance that does all the functions in agriculture. It matters that much: it helps to stabilize the soil; it helps to keep pests at bay; it matters the most, and it helps to keep the plants happy.
Imagine a world without dust and soil erosion from construction and building sites or farm roads. Well, scatter the vision bright and true, because salt silicate makes it possible. Simply put, it stabilizes soil, creates a concrete surface that easily resists dust formation, promotes plant growth, and provides a firm underground for farming liaises.
Sodium silicate is a true game-changer in the production of fertilizer. It increases fertilizers’ efficiency and dependability by improving their security and slow-release residential qualities. It guarantees that our plants get the nourishment they require to thrive by preventing nutrient leaking and improving nutrition accessibility to plants.
Now, this is where sodium silicate really shines. When applied to plants, it creates a barrier that keeps insects away and stops microbial and fungal infestations.
In addition to reducing the need for chemical pesticides, this all-natural defense response encourages stronger crop development, guaranteeing a bountiful harvest for all.
Just to clarify the discussion on salts of silicate, also known as water glass, in the building and structural products market. This wondrous substance acts as a basic ingredient in concrete.
This gives increased toughness, durability, and chemical deterioration resistance to these concrete products.
