What is instant sodium silicate?
Instant sodium silicate is a powdery white material that can quickly dissolve in water. It is a special sodium silicate with cold resistance, uniformity, convenient use, transportation, and storage.
Instant powdered sodium silicate also has all the properties and applications of liquid sodium silicate.
Its molecular formula is Na2O·nSiO2, n varies according to different specifications and uses.
Sodium silicate with different modulus has different uses
If the modulus of sodium silicate is different, its performance, use, and name will be different.
Our common silicon compounds are sodium silicate, instant sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, layered sodium silicate, and other silicon compounds, in which sodium silicate and instant sodium silicate belong to amorphous sodium silicate. In contrast, sodium metasilicate and layered sodium silicate belong to crystalline sodium silicate.
Their use varies slightly according to the form.
The differences between instant sodium silicate and sodium metasilicate are as follows:
Instant sodium silicate, which is usually amorphous sodium silicate liquid with a modulus between 2.1 and 3.4, is made into fluffy powder by spray drying to easily dissolve in use, but it is still amorphous sodium silicate.
Therefore, it is said to be an instant powdery alkaloid, abbreviated as an instant alkaloid.
Main uses of instant sodium silicate
1. Instant sodium silicate is mainly used as a detergent aid in synthetic detergents; it is suitable for the preparation of low-phosphorus and non-phosphorus detergents to replace sodium tripolyphosphate, especially for the production of concentrated detergents by agglomeration molding; it is also suitable for making industrial detergents and other household detergents for different uses.
2. Sodium silicate can be used as the activator of fly ash cement to improve the activity of fly ash to improve the compressive strength and flexural strength of fly ash admixture cement or increase the content of fly ash in cement to increase cement output and reduce cement production cost.
Powdered instant sodium silicate can also be used as a quick-drying and strengthening agent for ordinary cement.
3. Sodium silicate is used as cuttings settling agent and shale anti-swelling agent for silicon-based drilling fluid, cementing plugging agent for bentonite slurry and colloidal cement plugging agent, chemical water plugging agent for oil and gas wells, and gel plugging agent for oil and gas wells.
4. Sodium silicate can also be used as a binder for unshaped refractories such as kiln gunning materials, castable materials, acid-resistant cement, etc., as a binder for the foundry industry, ceramic industry, coating industry, and thermal insulation materials, and as a thickener in the oil production industry.
