sodium silicate
Product Description
Introduction:
Sodium silicate is also the technical and common name for a mixture of such compounds, which is also called water glass, water glass or liquid glass. This product has a wide variety of applications, including cement formulation, passive fire protection, textile and timber processing, manufacture of refractory ceramics, as an adhesive and in the production of silica gel. The commercial product, which is available as a water solution or as a solid, is greenish or blue due to the presence of impurities in the material.
The way of formation of this substance is that silica is obtained in molten sodium carbonate. If people intend to obtain sodium silicate in an alkaline form, some dry soda must be added to the furnace during melting, or it is possible to melt the silica with soda first.
Sodium silicate is usually in the form of a colorless transparent solid (granule) or white powder. In general, sodium silicates in Iranian silicate industries are produced in two forms: solid (powder) and liquid. Since this product is used as a raw material in the production industries of other products, customers can buy sodium silicate in the form of powder, solid, liquid, water solution, etc. from Iran Silicate Industries Group based on its application and efficiency.
It should be noted that the quality and high purity of the produced material has a great impact on the quality of other products that are made using it.
Sodium silicate Uses
Sodium silicate is used in soap detergents and in the manufacture of silica gel. It is used as cement, glue, filler and glue. It is also used as a wall covering, in concrete, as a fireproof material and as a sealant. It is also used to store eggs and wood
Sodium silicate is used in detergents and soaps to optimize the washing performance so that sodium silicate solutions are easily added to the detergent paste and by controlling the viscosity to facilitate condensatio
Sodium silicate is a widely used material in industrial, production and agricultural cases, etc. Sodium silicate has several properties such as adhesion, disinfection and gelatinization. In the following, we will give brief explanations about each of the properties of this product.
Adhesion: The adhesive ability of sodium silicate allows it to be used in various products. Usually, this material is used to connect things such as paper and cardboard, corrugated boards and paper cores, production of napkins and paper towels, as well as fiber drums.
Disinfectant: Ceramic manufacturers usually use sodium silicate as a disinfectant by adding it as a thin layer to ceramic products. This function can be used in ceramics and the production of green dishes.
Gelatin: This material is considered as a raw material for the artificial production of silica gel. This material is also considered as a powerful dryer.
