Chemical Formula: Na₂SiO₃·12H₂O
Sodium MetaSilicate 12 Hydrate is a white, granular crystalline compound known for its strong alkalinity and excellent cleaning properties. As a highly hydrated silicate salt, it is commonly used in detergents, water treatment, and industrial cleaning solutions where powerful degreasing and emulsifying action is required.
Appearance:
White crystalline granules or powder
Uses:
Industrial Cleaning & Detergents:
Used as a builder and corrosion inhibitor in heavy-duty cleaning agents, industrial degreasers, and machine dishwashing powders. Enhances cleaning efficiency by emulsifying oils and stabilizing pH.
Water Treatment:
Acts as a corrosion inhibitor in boiler water systems and closed-loop cooling systems by passivating metal surfaces.
Pulp & Paper Industry:
Used in paper bleaching and deinking formulations due to its dispersing and buffering properties.
Textile Industry:
Employed in scouring and dyeing processes for preparing fabric surfaces and enhancing colorfastness.
Construction & Adhesives:
Utilized as a chemical hardener in concrete and a binder in refractory materials and adhesives.
