Major Applications
-
Detergent Manufacturing: Used as an alkaline builder, buffering agent and corrosion-inhibition component.
-
Water Treatment: Used in selected corrosion-control and water-treatment formulations.
-
Construction Chemicals: Used in cementitious systems, concrete treatment and chemical grouting.
-
Foundry Industry: Acts as an inorganic binder for sand moulds and cores.
-
Refractory Manufacturing: Used as a binder in refractory cements and heat-resistant materials.
-
Paper and Pulp Industry: Used in peroxide bleaching stabilization and selected processing applications.
-
Industrial Cleaning: Provides alkalinity and supports detergent action in suitable cleaning formulations.
Sodium Silicate is used in soaps detergents and in the manufacture of silica gel. It is used as a cement, binder, filler and adhesive. And also used as a wall coating, in concrete, fire proofing material and as a sealant. It is also used to preserve eggs and wood.
APPLICATION::
It's used in construction, detergents, textiles, and even food preservation.
Here's a more detailed look at its uses:
Construction:
Concrete and Cement Admixture:
- Sodium silicate increases the strength and durability of concrete and acts as a sealant, preventing water penetration.
Soil Stabilization:
- It's used to stabilize soil at construction sites, particularly for roads and foundations.
Fireproofing:
- Sodium silicate acts as a fire retardant, adding a layer of protection against fire damage to buildings.
Detergents:
Builder:
- It helps remove hard water ions and control alkalinity, making detergents more effective and preventing fabric damage.
Soap Manufacturing:
- Sodium silicate can be used as a filler and to increase the hardness of soap bars.

Description :
Sodium silicates are colorless glassy or crystalline solids, or white powders. Except for the most silicon-rich ones, they are readily soluble in water, producing alkaline solutions. When dried up it still can be rehydrated back in water. Sodium silicates are stable in neutral and alkaline solutions.
Synonyms :
- Silicic acid (H2O3Si), disodium salt, pentahydrate.
- Silicic acid (H2O5Si2), disodium salt.
- Silicic acid (H2O7Si3), disodium salt.
- Silicic acid (H2O9Si4), disodium salt.
- Silicic acid (H4O4Si), tetrasodium salt.
- Silicic acid (H7O7Si2), hexasodium salt.
- Sodium silicate.
Uses :
Sodium Silicate is used in soaps detergents and in the manufacture of silica gel. It is used as a cement, binder, filler and adhesive. And also used as a wall coating, in concrete, fire proofing material and as a sealant. It is also used to preserve eggs and wood.
Storage and Handling
Store in tightly closed, alkali-resistant HDPE or compatible steel containers. Protect from freezing, excessive heat and contamination with acids. Avoid contact with aluminium, zinc and other alkali-sensitive materials.
Use chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling concentrated solutions.
One important question: Which grade of Sodium Silicate Solution do you require — alkaline grade (SiO₂:Na₂O ratio 2.0), neutral grade (3.2–3.3), or general industrial liquid grade? This determines the correct specifications and applications. Email us ::: rxmarinegroup @ gmail.com
