• Description: Sodium silicate, 2Na2OSiO2, is the simplest form of glass. It is found as lumps of greenish glass soluble in steam under pressure, white powders of varying degrees of solubility, or liquids cloudy or clear. It is noncombustible; however, when the powdered form is suspended in air, it could cause a dust explosion if an ignition source is present. Breathing the dust may also cause health problems. The glass form could also create a hazard to responders in an accident. It is not listed as a hazardous material in the DOT Hazardous Materials Tables. The primary uses are as catalysts, soaps, adhesives, water treatment, bleaching, waterproofing, and flame retardant.
• Uses: Lining Bessemer converters, acid concentrators. manufacture of grindstones, abrasive wheels (as binder only). Sodium Silicate is a product used as a preservative for eggs. Sodium silicate (Na2O) is known as “water glass” and is used in water treatment and in making soaps, detergents, adhesives, drilling fluids, bleaches. Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3), better known as water glass, is one of the few silicon compounds that dissolves in water.It is used in the manufacture of soaps, adhesives, and food preservatives.
