This is a type of organic substance with the chemical formula Na2O*nSiO2. It is a colorless and translucent, transparent or slightly tinted bulk vitreous material. It is also known by waterglass, glass and liquidglass. It is a type of mineral adhesive. It is a soluble, inorganic silicate which has many uses.
N=SiO2/Na2O is the molar ratio. It is the module of sodium silicate. Modulus is an important parameter for sodium silicate. It is typically between 1.5 to 3.5. The more sodium silicate is difficult to dissolve in water, the higher its modulus. Warm water can dissolve n if it is constant. Hot water is required to dissolve n if it increases. When n exceeds 3, steam at greater than 4 atmosphere pressure is required for dissolution.
The greater the modulus of sodium sililicate, the higher the Si content. Additionally, sodium silicate has a viscosity that increases with increasing silica content. This makes it easy to decompose, harden and increase the bonding strength. Additionally, sodium silicate with different levels of polymerization has significant differences. This can lead to significant differences in the silicic Acid components in its hydrolysate. It is important to note that sodium silicate of different modulus has various uses.

The sodium silicate can be broken down into two types: solid sodium silicate (liquid sodium silicate)
Liquid sodium silicate
Liquid Na2O*nSiO2 can be distinguished by the difference in the ratio of quartz and alkali. The appearance of liquid Na2O*nSiO2 will also vary depending on the type of alkali. There are many colors available, including black, gray and colorless. There are three types of neutral Na2O*nSiO2, Alkaline Na2O*nSiO2, and weakly simple Na2O*nSiO2.

Solid sodium silicate
Solid-state Ni2O*nSiO22 is a intermediate product that has a pale blue appearance. The Na2O*nSiO2 created by dry casting is transparent and bulky. While the Na2O*nSiO2 obtained by wet water quenching is granular and can only be used for liquid Na2O*nSiO2. There are several common types of Na2O*nSiO2 product options: powder solid, block solid, instant sodium Silicate, zero sodium metasilicate pentahydrate sodium Metasilicate and sodium orthosilicate.

For what purpose is sodium silicate used?
Sodium silicate, the most valuable soap filler, is a good choice. Mixing sodium silicate in laundry soap can lower the alkalinity. This will reduce soap loss, improve washing ability, and prevent soap from becoming rancid.
Sodium silicate helps to wash, stabilize and prevent corrosion in synthetic detergents.
Useful for papermaking fillers
It is used for the manufacture of silica gel.
This is used to bond clay and sand in the foundry, and create all sorts of moulds and cores.

What are the other names for sodium silicate,
Sodium silicate can be described as an inorganic salt that has silicate as a counterion. It is also known to be sodium metasilicate, or water glass.

How does sodium silicate affect concrete?
Alkali activator for alkali active cement can be made from sodium silicate. Concrete uses it as a setting agent and silicate mineral coating to increase durability and waterproofing.
