What is sodium silicate powder?
The molecular formula (also known as sodium silicate) of sodium silicate is Na2O.NSIO2 • XH2O. The characteristics of sodium silicate change with the ratio of silicon and sodium oxide. This ratio is called the modulus. When the modulus is greater than 3, it is called sodium sodium silicate. When the amount is less than 3, it is called alkaline silicate. The shape of sodium silicate is solid and liquid, and products are more common. The shape of sodium silicate is colorless, gray, red, transparent or translucent sticky liquid shape. It is soluble in water. The sodium silicate aquatic solution has viscosity, especially the high degree of high mold. Sodium silicate is a sky blue or yellow -green glass substance, which increases with the decrease in the amount of relative density. There is no fixed melting point. It can be used as a concrete accelerator and waterproofing agent.
Use of sodium silicate powder
1. Water glass coated on a metal surface will form alkali metal silicate and SiO2 gel film to protect the metal from external acid, alkali, etc
2. It is used as an adhesive to bond glass, ceramics, asbestos, wood, plywood, etc
3. It is used to manufacture refractory materials, white carbon black, and acid-resistant cement
4. It is used as a sizing agent and impregnating agent in the textile industry, as a fixing agent and mordant in textile dyeing and embossing, and as a weighting agent for silk fabrics
5. Water glass is added in leather production, and its dispersed colloidal SiO2 is used to produce soft leather
6. In the food industry, it can be used to preserve eggs and prevent microorganisms from entering the eggshell space and causing deterioration
7. Water glass can remove pigments and tree lipids from the sugar solution in the sugar industry.
 
Instant powdered sodium silicate
Instant powdery sodium silicate is also known as instant foamed alkali and hydrated sodium silicate. This product is white in appearance, powdery, uniform, and very convenient for transportation, storage, and use. It is especially suitable for mechanized and automatic operation. It is widely used in metallurgy, electric power, petrochemical, and building materials industries. It is used as an adhesive in amorphous refractory materials, industrial cleaning agents, preservatives, and in producing soap and acid-resistant cement, Quick-drying agents, and enhancers in the fine ceramic industry and precision casting industry. The instant powdered sodium silicate products also have all the properties and applications of liquid caustic soda. The molecular formula of the instant powdered sodium silicate is Na2O · mSiO2 · nH2O, and the formula is generally between 280 and 350. Compared with the non-aqueous powdered sodium silicate crushed by machinery, the former has many valuable properties, such as water solubility, Purity, etc. The instant powdered sodium silicate is a fine chemical product made from the dry process (mirabilite process, soda ash process) of foam alkali through the processing processes of chemicals, filtration, mold adjustment, spray drying, etc.
