Addage Sodium Silicate Powder

Sodium silicate is a chemical compound of sodium oxide (Na2O), Silicon dioxide (SiO2) or Silica. Addage sodium silicate powder provides excellent adhesive, binding, and protective characteristics in the construction industry.

Sodium silicate has various uses in many industries. It is used in construction, adhesives, detergents, water treatment, food preservation, automotive repair, textiles, foundries, refractories, and oil & gas operations. In construction, it is used as a hardener and it provides excellent tensile strength to the concrete when added.

It is made by reacting silica sand and sodium carbonate at a high temperature ranging from 1200 and 1400 °C. It is a clear, colorless compound made up of sodium and silica oxides.

Mix sodium silicate with water as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Once mixed, apply the sodium silicate solution to the concrete surface using a sprayer or brush.

Sodium silicate is commonly referred to as water glass. It can be applied as an adhesive by applying directly to the surface that needs bonding.

Sodium Silicate is highly soluble in water. Addage Sodium Silicate Powder is completely soluble in water and has effective results when used as a hardener in construction processes.

Sodium silicate is non-toxic to humans. However, proper safety precautions should be taken to avoid direct contact with the skin, eyes, and other vital organs of the human body during its handling and application.

It is made up of non-toxic chemical compounds but it is a strong irritant to eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. Thus, try to avoid direct contact with the concentrated sodium silicate to avoid its potential effects on health.

It is popularly used as a hardener in the construction industry. When it is added to cement, it improves the strength, durability, and waterproofing performance of the concrete. We recommend dosages are 0.1 to 0.4 % of the total weight of cement.

Yes, certainly. Adding sodium silicate to the concrete improves its waterproofing performance by reducing the micropores, voids, and seals the cracks within the concrete structures.

To improve its surface densification, improved water resistance, enhanced durability, dustproofing. The sodium silicate (water glass) is applied in cement paste mixture in an amount of 5, 10, 15, and 20 mass% of cement.

The other name of sodium silicate is sodium metasilicate it is also called Waterglass.

Yes, Sodium Silicate is generally considered safe for the skin due to its non-toxicity.

Yes, Sodium Silicate is safe to use for temporary skin tightening when used in cosmetic products. However, it can cause skin/eye irritation and should be used carefully to avoid adverse effects.

Sodium Silicate is generally considered safe for use in drinking water systems, basically for its applications in corrosion control and coagulation.

Sodium silicate functions as an alum coagulant and iron flocculant in wastewater treatment plants.

Sodium Silicate has various advantages in water treatment including effective coagulation, corrosion control, biofilm management, improved water quality, environmental safety, and cost efficiency.

Yes, sodium silicate affects the pH levels in the water, basically it increases the alkalinity; resulting in raising the pH levels in water.

Sodium silicate should be stored in closed containers and kept away from direct sunlight in a cool and dry place.

Sodium Silicate plays a crucial role in ceramic manufacturing. It functions as a binder, glaze additive, deflocculant, and energy-saving agent.

In glass manufacturing, sodium silicate acts as an adhesive, binder, deflocculant, and distributes particles evenly in application.

Yes, sodium silicate is a hardener used in slip casting to enhance the durability and strength of ceramic parts.

When sodium silicate is used as a glue, it can bind ceramic particles together leading to the repair of ceramic products.

Sodium silicate supports environmental sustainability by improving water quality with effective biofilm control, reducing carbon emissions, and waste recycling.

Sodium silicate is used as an effective binder in the foundry industry. It is effective for sand moulds, improves casting performance, facilitates recycling efforts, reduces waste and carbon emissions.

The sodium silicate binder mechanism brings no toxicity, produces zero fumes, and is easy to use, resulting in cleaner foundry environments.

Sodium silicate functions as a corrosion inhibitor in detergents leading to easy removal of stains and dirt in laundry and dishwashing. Also, it keeps the detergent formula firm and stable, resulting in better cleaning efficiency of detergent.

Yes, sodium silicate is used in liquid detergents to produce the best quality detergency power in the liquid. The presence of sodium silicate prevents the formation of precipitates and a cloudy appearance caused by temperature fluctuations.

Sodium silicate is commonly considered safe for application in household cleaning products. But it should be handled as per the recommended guidelines of the manufacturer.

Sodium silicate has alkaline characteristics, and functions as an outstanding water softer as it neutralizes the metal ions, resulting in better workability of detergent.

odium silicate is alkaline in nature, its pH approximately 10 to 13 therefore it enhances the alkalinity of the detergent leading to improved cleaning capacity of the detergent.

Yes, due to sodium silicate’s ability to soften water, enhanced cleaning power, biodegradability, corrosion protection, and cost-effectiveness, it can be definitely used in eco-friendly detergents.
