Sodium Silicate
Sodium Silicate is a product found in thousands of products we use every day, from adhesives and paints to soaps and detergents. The product has an amazing array of properties. Depending on the application, sodium silicate can function as an algae inhibitor with fire retardant characteristics, an anti-mold/mildew agent, as a penetrant and sealer for harder, more abrasion-resistant surfaces and as a corrosion inhibitor through its formation of protective film surfaces. Soluble sodium silicate is also used to sequester unwanted metals in groundwater systems and plays an important role in de-inking recycled paper. Because the viscosity of sodium silicate increases as it dries, the hard, glasslike bond makes sodium silicate a versatile, economical adhesive.
Non-toxic, non-flammable and non-explosive sodium silicate liquids are water solutions of silica (silicon dioxide) and sodium oxide. Also known as water glass or liquid glass, sodium silicate is available from CQuest in a variety of concentrations and weight ratios. By varying the silica:sodium oxide (SiO2:Na2O) ratios and total dissolved solids, CQuest's sodium silicate products can match the handling needs of virtually any requirement. Extensive testing with customers in select markets has indicated that this feedstock difference actually enhances their processes.
