Sodium water glass
Sodium silicate, also known as sodium silicate, is an aqueous solution of sodium and silicon oxide. Sodium silicate is used in the construction and building materials industry as a concrete and mortar additive to increase the strength of concrete, in the impregnation of porous building materials such as concrete and bricks, in the production of fireproof coatings, as an adhesive and stabiliser in paper and cardboard production, in wood and corrosion protection. Sodium silicate is well suited for industrial applications that require strong alkalinity, fast curing or favourable costs, such as in the foundry, construction industry and cleaning products.
