Market Overview

Liquid sodium silicate, commonly known as water glass, is an inorganic chemical compound that creates sodium oxide (Na?o), and silica (sio?) in separate proportions. It appears as a clear, sticky liquid and is highly soluble in water. Due to its binding, adhesive, thickening, and unholy properties, liquid sodium silicate is widely used in various applications such as detergents, pulp and paper, adhesive, clothing, construction, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Its alkaline nature and the ability to create protective films make it valuable as a raw material for corrosion resistance, soil stabilization, and geolites. The demand for liquid sodium silicate is increasing due to the durability and focus on environmentally friendly solutions, especially in detergents and construction materials. In water treatment, it plays an important role in preventing rust and producing pure water, while in the pulp and paper area, it helps in bleaching and recycling processes. The compound is valuable because it is versatile, cost-effective, and widely available. Some of its simple benefits include strong binding and adhesive properties, effectiveness in cleaning, contribution to environmentally friendly detergents, rust and recycling paper the ability to prevent paper.
