Sodium Silicate

Product Description
Sodium Silicate (Na₂SiO₃), commonly known as Water Glass, is a white to slightly translucent crystalline solid or powder that is highly soluble in water. It is widely used as a bonding agent, detergent builder, pH regulator, and laboratory reagent. Its strong alkaline properties and adhesive nature make it indispensable in industrial applications, chemical research, and water treatment. Sodium Silicate is valued for its stability, solubility, and versatility across various laboratory and industrial processes.
