What is Sodium silicate?
Sodium silicateis commonly referred to as paohua , is a kind of inorganic substance that is aqueous in its solution. It is typically referred to as sodium silicate, is a kind of mineral adhesive. Chemical formula: Na2O*nSiO2, it is a soluble inorganic silicate, has a wide range of uses. The sodium silicate is water-soluble, is colorless, slightly colored translucent or transparent massive glass body that is commonly used for filler, fabric fire retardant and adhesive.
What can Sodium Silicate be used in?
Soaps and detergent
The silicate of sodium is able to enhance surface effects for example, wetting with organic surfactants (reducing tension on the surface) and helps to keep small oil particles or dirt trapped in the cleaning solution or enhancing the ability to get dirt off the surface.
The alkalinity of sodium silicate enables that it can neutralize acidsic soils and encourage the emulsification of oil and dispersion of protein.
Packaging
A cardboard coating can enhance the hardness of cardboard and enhance your resistance against moisture fire, grease and pests. Silicate is also employed as an oil repellent for its own use.
Sodium silicate is a good choice as a lubricant for application of auxiliary substances like paraffins, naphthalene chloride, wax as well as nitrocellulose, varnish and other cardboard coatings. It creates a pore in the cardboard and minimizes the water absorption of the material, decreasing the amount of topcoats required.
Construction
Soluble Silicate can be utilized as a cement binder. When Portland is mixed with cement components, they will undergo chemical reactions to make substances that have strong bonding characteristics. It can also be employed to enhance the strength of concrete.
Mining industry
Soluble silicate is employed for many mineral enrichment methods. The most important use of sodium silicate in ore flotation serves as an antiflocculant to get rid of unwanted siliceous elements. Only a small amount of silicate at a concentration similar to that used in cleaning processes is needed. The ability of silicate to create a sodium ion layer on the surface of particles is crucial for preparing the surface for separation. Silicate helps in the prevention of wear and tear, thereby reducing the ball damage in the mill.
A water treatment
An anionic silica solution that is dilute and created by soluble silicate could help to prevent corrosion of metal surfaces.
As an additive in water, the dissolved SiO2 has the ability to stop corrosion of storage tanks for metal and distribution lines. It helps prevent the corrosion of pipelines and pumps due to acidic water (for instance, from mine drainage) It also reduces corrosion in grinding in ball rod mills and helps prevent corrosion of equipment in process, as an ingredient in agglomeration, spray drying or dry mix detergent formulations and , of course, metal parts found in disheswashing and laundry equipment. It is a component of the liquid that makes up the permanent automotive cooling system. as an additive to water treatment chemicals in cooling towers and boilers.
