Sodium metasilicate (Na₂Si₂O₅) is a high-purity inorganic compound recognized for its excellent alkalinity, cleaning efficiency, and corrosion inhibition properties. It is widely used in industrial cleaning agents, detergent formulations, ceramic processing, water treatment, and textile applications. Due to its strong emulsification and dispersing capabilities, sodium metasilicate plays a crucial role in precision manufacturing, scientific research, and specialized material applications.
Product Overview
Sodium metasilicate, with the chemical formula Na₂Si₂O₅, is a crystalline form of sodium silicate with a molar ratio of 1. It is produced by reacting liquid soda ash with liquid alkali under specific conditions, forming crystalline sodium metasilicate with a molecular structure arranged in needle-like formations. Sodium metasilicate has high alkalinity and pH buffering capacity, offering excellent wetting, emulsifying, and saponifying properties in inorganic electrolytes. It effectively removes, disperses, and suspends dirt, and prevents re-deposition of dirt.
