CAS 1344-09-8 Light Green Crystals Alkalinity Sodium Silicate Serves As A Filler And Coating Agent In Paper Production.
Product Description:
Sodium Silicate, commonly referred to as water glass, exists in two main forms: liquid and solid. The liquid form is more widely used and appears as a colorless, clear, or light gray viscous fluid.
In contrast, the solid form of sodium silicate typically presents as light blue or light green crystals. These crystals can be either transparent or semi-transparent, depending on their composition and purity.
The production of sodium silicate involves a chemical reaction between sodium oxide and silicon dioxide, which combine to create this versatile compound.
Features:
Sodium silicate solutions are inherently alkaline in nature. When dissolved in water, they create an alkaline environment, which is a fundamental characteristic of their aqueous solutions.
In terms of binding capabilities and strength, the hardening process results in the formation of a silica gel. This silica gel imparts a robust binding force, ensuring strong adhesion and structural integrity once the material sets.
The silicon dioxide framework that develops after hardening endows the material with considerable heat resistance. This network structure can endure elevated temperatures, and when combined with heat-resistant aggregates, the composite can withstand heat up to approximately 1000°C.
Regarding acid resistance, the material demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance against most acids. However, it is vulnerable to attack by certain substances, including hydrofluoric acid, hot phosphoric acid, as well as higher fatty acids, which can degrade its integrity.
The hardening mechanism involves the reaction of liquid sodium silicate with carbon dioxide present in the air. This reaction leads to the formation of a silicic acid gel, which steadily solidifies over time. The hardening process can be expedited either by applying heat or by introducing hardening agents such as sodium fluorosilicate.

Applications:
Sodium silicate acts as a binder for various building materials. It plays a crucial role in holding bricks and stones together, which enhances the overall integrity and stability of the structure. Additionally, it aids in the development of fire-resistant materials. When applied as coatings or impregnating agents on wood and fabrics, sodium silicate significantly increases their resistance to fire. Beyond these uses, it is also employed to reinforce soil by injecting its solution, which improves soil compactness and load-bearing capacity.
In the paper industry, sodium silicate is used as both a filler and a coating agent. Its inclusion helps to improve the paper’s strength, whiteness, and smoothness. Furthermore, it enhances the water resistance and ink absorption properties of the paper, making the final product more durable and of higher quality.
Sodium silicate is an essential component in detergent formulation. It functions to soften water, effectively remove grease, and prevent dirt from redepositing onto surfaces. Additionally, it raises the alkalinity of detergents, which boosts their overall cleaning efficiency and performance.
Within chemical manufacturing, sodium silicate serves as a key raw material for producing various silicate-based products such as silica gel and zeolite. It also enhances the quality and performance of refractory ceramics and enamel products, contributing to their durability and functionality.
In textiles, sodium silicate is employed as a desizing agent as well as a bleaching assistant. It efficiently removes sizing agents from fabrics and improves the bleaching process, resulting in fabrics that are softer and exhibit a brighter whiteness.
