Identification: Silicate (Liquid Glass Na₂SiO₃)
- Name: Sodium Silicate (Sodium Silicate – Na₂SiO₃)
- Product form: Clear/pale yellow liquid; or powder (solid)
- Silicate module (M): SiO₂/Na₂O ratio, commonly M = 2.0 – 3.5
- pH (25°C): 11 – 13 (strong alkaline) · Specific gravity (20°C): ~1,35 – 1,55 g/cm³ (depending on M & concentration)
- Reference Baumé Degree: ~38 – 50 °Baby · Packaging: 250–280 kg drum, IBC ~1.200 kg, tank truck; powder: 25 kg/bag
Uses of Silicate (Na₂SiO₃)
- Construction – waterproofing: Creates an inorganic membrane that seals concrete/mortar capillaries; increases surface durability and reduces dust.
- Paper – cardboard – glue: Silicate glue for paper tubes, corrugated cardboard; increases wet strength, heat resistance, and optimizes costs.
- Foundry – molding: Inorganic binder for foundry sand; geometrically stable, heat resistant, low smoke compared to organic.
- Ceramics – glaze: Adjusts ceramic paste rheology, aids dispersion; glaze additives increase color stability.
- Detergent: Alkaline buffer, anti-re-fouling, supports cleaning mineral floors.
- Water treatment – chemicals: pH adjustment; precursor for zeolite/silica gel synthesis; coagulant in some processes.
Method of using Silicate
- Dilution/mixing: Add clean water slowly to silicate, stirring well. Control viscosity, pH and target modulus.
- Compatible: Good with mineral substrates (cement, sand); avoid mixing directly with polyvalent acids/salts (Al³⁺, Ca²⁺..) without testing because it can easily gel.
- Module selection: Low M (≈2.0–2.5) for high activity/alkalinity (cleaning); high M (≈3.0–3.5) for durable membrane (waterproofing/paper adhesive).
- Field testing: Small test should be done to optimize mixing ratio, drying time, adhesion & durability.

SILICATE APPLICATIONS IN INDUSTRY
- Construction – waterproofing – surface protection
- Penetrates concrete/mortar, seals capillaries, reduces water permeability; creates an alkali-resistant inorganic coating.
- Paper – cardboard – glue
- Silicate glue for paper/carton tubes; increased wet strength & heat resistance; optimized drying time.
- Foundry – mold casting
- Heat-resistant, low-smoke foundry sand binder; dimensionally stable, easy to separate mold when using suitable additives.
- Ceramics – enamel – surface treatment
- Adjust ceramic paste rheology, improve dispersion; glaze additives increase stability.
- Cleaning – water treatment – chemicals
- Alkaline buffer, anti-re-fouling; pH regulator; zeolite/silica gel precursor.
Safety – Health & Environment
- Strong alkalinity: May cause skin, eye & respiratory irritation; avoid direct contact.
- Protection: Wear gloves, goggles, and mask; wash immediately after contact; consult MSDS.
- Spill: Dilute – collect; do not discharge directly into the environment; comply with waste regulations.
- Contact materials: Use alkali-resistant materials; limit contact with untreated aluminum/zinc.

Origin – production of liquid glass
- Produced by reacting SiO₂ with NaOH/KOH under suitable conditions, then adjusting the modulus & concentration.
- Powder form obtained through drying/dehydration; convenient for transporting & remixing on site.
Frequently asked questions about liquid glass
How is module 2.0 different from module 3.3?
Low M (≈2.0–2.5): alkaline/high activity, suitable for cleaning. High M (≈3.0–3.5): creates a durable film, suitable for waterproofing & paper glue.
Choose Sodium Silicate or Potassium Silicate?
Potassium-silicate for more water-resistant membrane, less surface crystallization of alkali salts; suitable for coatings/enamels. Sodium-silicate is popular & cost-effective, suitable for paper glue, foundry, and waterproofing floors.
How long to keep?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from CO₂ and contaminants: liquid silicate can be used for 6–12 months (depending on the manufacturer). Powder form can be stored for longer.
