Sodium Silicate
Refractories and
Foundaries : Alkaline
silicate has water repellant properties and imparts greater plasticity
and higher green strength by air setting without heat and therefore used
as a binder in foundaries in core making, refracory mortar for ramming,
gunning and patching and in cement concrete constuctions industries and
maintenance.
Detergents and Soap
industries : It
is used in manufacture of household and industrial detergents and soaps.
It is environment friendly and non-polluting and therefore a preferred
substitute in detergent formulations replacing Tri Sodium Phosphate, Tri
poly phosphate etc. Release of Silica in colloidal stages adds to anto
redeposit of dust in detergents and working as an ion exchanger, it effectively
combats hard water. In soap industries it is used as a binder cum filler
and cost reducing agent.
Paper and Oil Drilling
Industries : Being
a strong oil emulsfier, its ability to remove oil and grease strains makes
sodium silicate an ideal degreasing agent in Oil Drilling Industries.
Neutral
Grade Sodium Silicate is used as core binder and alkaline grade Sodium
Silicate is used as a Coagulent in Paper Manufacturing industries.
