Overview of Sodium Silicate
Sodium Silicate, commonly known as water glass, is an inorganic chemical compound widely used in detergents, adhesives, construction materials, and water treatment. It appears as a clear, viscous liquid or a white solid, depending on its form.
Sodium Silicate is valued for its alkalinity, binding strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to act as a deflocculant in industrial processes. It is available in both liquid and powder forms.
Related products on our website include Sodium Metasilicate, Potassium Silicate, and Calcium Silicate, which are also used in detergents and construction applications.
