Liquid sodium silicate is a high-purity inorganic compound recognized for its excellent chemical stability, adhesion properties, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in coatings, adhesives, cement formulations, water treatment, and industrial cleaning solutions. Due to its superior durability and efficiency, liquid sodium silicate plays a crucial role in precision engineering, material processing, and specialized industrial applications.
Product Overview
Liquid sodium silicate, commonly known as water glass, is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid. It has strong adhesive properties and can form a protective gel film of alkali metal silicates and silica (SiO₂) on metal surfaces, providing corrosion protection and preventing external acids, alkalis, and other agents from corroding metals. Due to its excellent adhesion and high-temperature resistance, liquid sodium silicate is widely used across multiple industries.
