Sodium silicate is a colorless or slightly colored transparent or translucent liquid with heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, insoluble in water and alcohol, and other properties. It is a silicate mineral obtained by reacting silicate minerals or silica with sulfuric acid or sodium carbonate. The main component is disodium silicate, containing a small amount of monosodium silicate, silicon dioxide, sodium hydroxide, and calcium hydroxide. Sodium silicate is widely used in textile, paper, wood, construction, casting, and other industries and can also be used as a detergent, binder, filler, etc.
