Application of sodium silicate
Sodium silicate has a wide range of applications, almost covering various sectors of the national economy.
In chemical systems, it is used to manufacture various silicate products such as silica gel, white carbon black, zeolite molecular sieve, pentahydrate sodium silicate, silica sol, layered silica, and instant powdered sodium silicate, potassium sodium silicate, etc. It is the basic raw material for silicon compounds. In economically developed countries, there are over 50 types of deep processed products using sodium silicate as raw material, some of which have been applied in high-tech, precision, and cutting-edge fields;
In light industry, it is an indispensable raw material for detergents such as laundry detergent and soap, as well as a water softener and settling aid; Used in the textile industry for dyeing assistance, bleaching, and sizing;
Widely used in the mechanical industry for casting, grinding wheel manufacturing, and metal preservatives, etc; Used in the construction industry to manufacture fast drying cement, acid resistant cement and waterproof oil, soil solidifier, refractory materials, etc; Silicon fertilizer can be produced in agriculture;
In addition, it is used as a silicon aluminum catalyst for petroleum catalytic cracking, filler for soap, adhesive for corrugated paper, high-temperature resistant materials such as laboratory crucibles, metal preservatives, water softeners, detergent additives, refractory materials and ceramic raw materials, bleaching, dyeing and slurry for textiles, mining beneficiation, waterproofing, leak sealing, wood fire prevention, food preservation, and adhesive production.
