Soluble silicate

Soluble silicate is the raw material for the production of water glass. Externally, soluble silicate looks like an ordinary bottle glass of light blue or light green color. This material is made by melting quartz sand with sodium or potassium carbonate. The final choice of raw materials is determined by what kind of soluble silicate the client is going to buy and use.

The product is characterized by resistance to high temperatures and open flames, environmental friendliness and low toxicity.

FAQ

What does a soluble silicate look like?

Soluble sodium or potassium silicate are frozen, crystallized pieces ranging in size from 1 to 15 (sometimes 20) cm. They can be transparent or slightly colored – in a light blue, yellowish or greenish shade. The color or its absence depends on the product variety and composition.
Varieties of a soluble silicate
Soluble silicate is made mainly of two types: sodium and potassium. In some cases, the production of mixed silicate is also possible.
3 types of the soluble silicate and features of its application
Each type of product is characterized by a specific scope of use.
Soluble sodium silicate
In most cases, it is used in the production of sodium water glass. To do this, soluble sodium silicate is placed in a leaching autoclave with a rotation mechanism, into which heated water and steam are fed. This type of soluble silicate is popular due to its cheapness – the price for a soluble sodium-based silicate is the most affordable.

It is mainly used to produce water glass, but as a dry component, soluble silicate can be used in dry building mixes, as well as in other industries.

Soluble sodium silicate is an integral component of various building mixes and adsorbents. Many processes in chemical products factories also require the use of this product.

Soluble sodium silicate is rarely used as an independent product, but more often it is still a raw material for producing water glass. To do this, the soluble sodium silicate is dissolved in water under high pressure and at high temperature in leaching autoclaves of various designs (rotating horizontal or vertical static).
Soluble potassium silicate
Similar to the soluble sodium silicate, it is used most often for the production of water glass - but not so often as a sodium silicate due to its higher cost. However, in the production of potassium water glass (or a variant mixed with sodium), it is necessary to produce soluble silicate of this type.
Mixed type
It is used only for producing potassium-sodium or sodium-potassium water glass. In such products, these two components vary in a combination of 70/30.
