Liquid Sodium Silicate

Liquid Sodium Silicate is a versatile inorganic chemical solution widely used as an essential raw material in detergents, cleaning products, construction materials, foundry applications, paper production, water treatment, ceramics, welding electrodes and numerous industrial processes. Also known as water glass or soluble silicate, liquid sodium silicate is produced by combining silica-rich raw materials with sodium compounds through a controlled high-temperature manufacturing process, followed by dissolution, filtration and quality control to obtain a homogeneous alkaline solution. Depending on the required application, sodium silicate can be manufactured in different SiO₂/Na₂O ratios, concentrations, densities and physical properties. Our Liquid Sodium Silicate is manufactured for industrial and commercial applications with a focus on consistent quality, reliable performance and suitability for international wholesale export. The production process begins with carefully selected silica sand and a sodium-bearing raw material, which are processed at high temperature to form sodium silicate glass. The resulting solid product is then dissolved under controlled conditions and filtered to produce clear to slightly colored liquid sodium silicate with controlled concentration and density. During production, important parameters such as silica-to-sodium oxide ratio, specific gravity, alkalinity, viscosity and appearance are monitored to maintain batch-to-batch consistency. Depending on customer requirements, different grades can be supplied for detergent, construction, foundry, ceramic, paper, welding electrode and other industrial applications. The product can be supplied according to agreed technical specifications and customer standards, making it suitable for distributors, chemical traders, manufacturers and industrial buyers seeking a dependable sodium silicate supplier for international markets. Liquid Sodium Silicate is particularly valued for its alkaline properties, binding capability, dispersing performance, adhesive characteristics, buffering action and ability to react with various mineral and chemical materials.

Liquid Sodium Silicate grades are generally differentiated according to concentration, density and SiO₂/Na₂O molar ratio, allowing manufacturers to select a grade appropriate for a specific production process. Sodium silicate with relatively higher alkalinity is commonly used in detergents, cleaning compounds and chemical formulations, while grades with different silicate ratios and concentrations are widely used as binders and additives in construction, foundry and ceramic industries. In detergent manufacturing, liquid sodium silicate can contribute to alkalinity, soil suspension, corrosion protection and builder performance. In the foundry industry, sodium silicate is used as an inorganic binder in sand molding systems, while in welding electrode manufacturing it can act as a binder during electrode production. In construction, sodium silicate is utilized in cementitious and mineral-based formulations, hardeners, sealers and certain fire-resistant applications.

Ceramic and refractory manufacturers may use suitable grades as binders or processing aids, while paper and pulp industries can use sodium silicate in selected bleaching and processing systems. Liquid Sodium Silicate can also be used in water treatment and industrial chemical formulations where its alkalinity and silicate functionality are advantageous. Typical specifications may include SiO₂ content, Na₂O content, SiO₂/Na₂O ratio, total solids, specific gravity, viscosity, pH and visual appearance. Because industrial requirements differ significantly, concentration and silicate ratio can be adjusted or selected according to the final application and buyer specification. Major advantages of Liquid Sodium Silicate include good binding strength, alkaline performance, thermal stability, compatibility with numerous inorganic formulations, cost efficiency and versatility across multiple industries.

FAQ Liquid Sodium Silicate

Liquid Sodium Silicate, also called water glass or sodium silicate solution, is an alkaline inorganic chemical produced from silica and sodium-based raw materials and supplied in different concentrations and SiO₂/Na₂O ratios for industrial applications.

It is widely used in detergents and cleaning products, foundries, construction chemicals, ceramics, refractory materials, welding electrodes, paper and pulp processing, water treatment and various inorganic chemical formulations.

The appropriate grade depends mainly on the intended application and required SiO₂/Na₂O ratio, concentration, density, alkalinity and viscosity; buyers should provide their technical requirements so the suitable grade can be selected.

It is generally produced by high-temperature fusion of silica-rich raw materials with sodium compounds to form sodium silicate glass, followed by controlled dissolution, filtration and quality testing to obtain the required liquid grade.

Depending on order volume and destination, Liquid Sodium Silicate can be supplied in suitable HDPE drums, IBC tanks or bulk liquid tankers, with packaging selected according to the product grade, transportation conditions and buyer requirements.

Buyers can contact Irancorps to find a suitable Iranian supplier based on required grade, application, specification, quantity, packaging and destination market, with support for supplier sourcing and export purchasing coordination.
