Instant Sodium Silicate

If you don’t know sodium silicate, you may have heard of water glass, which is the common name for sodium silicate. Sodium silicate has a wide range of uses. It is found in laundry detergent, water softener, refractory materials and other things. At the same time, sodium silicate is also very harmful to health. It is highly irritating and corrosive. Instant sodium silicate has great advantages in storage and transportation. Let's take a closer look at instant sodium silicate.

Instant powdered sodium silicate is also called instant sodium silicate hydrate and sodium silicate hydrate.

Instant sodium silicate is a white powdery material that can be quickly dissolved in water. It is a special type of sodium silicate that is cold-resistant, uniform, and extremely convenient to use, transport, and store. Instant powdered sodium silicate products also have all the properties and applications of liquid sodium silicate. Its molecular formula is Na2·nSiO2·H2O, where n varies depending on specifications and uses.

1. Instant sodium silicate is mainly used as a builder in synthetic detergents; it is suitable for the preparation of low-phosphorus and phosphorus-free washing powders, replacing sodium tripolyphosphate, and is particularly suitable for the production of agglomerated concentrated washing powders; it is also suitable for the preparation of various industrial detergents and other household detergents for different purposes.

2. Used as an activator for fly ash cement to improve the activity of fly ash, thereby improving the compressive strength and flexural strength of fly ash mixed cement; or increase the amount of fly ash in cement, thereby increasing cement production and reducing cement production costs. Powdered quick-dissolving sodium silicate can also be used as a quick-drying agent and reinforcing agent for ordinary cement.

4. It can also be used as a binder for amorphous refractory materials such as kiln gunning materials, castables, acid-resistant cement, etc.; a mixture for foundry industry, ceramic industry, coating industry and thermal insulation materials; a thickener in the oil production industry
