Sodium Silicate, Powder, Low Alkaline (SSG)

Sodium Silicate (Water Glass) is a fine, white powder with a SiO₂ to Na₂O ratio of 3.22, the same as SSO and SSN liquid sodium silicates. When dissolved, it forms a hazy, colorless colloidal solution. SSG sodium silicate is used in specialized refractory compounds and acid-resistant cements. It functions as a binder for powdered materials intended for use in high-temperature and/or acid-resistant cements and other applications.

Product Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Used in refractory compounds
• Binder for powdered materials
• Ideal for acid-resistant and high-temperature cements
• Forms a colloidal solution when dissolved

Caution:

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with eyes. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling.

Liquid Sodium Silicate (Water Glass) Solution (30–40%)

Liquid Sodium Silicate, also known as Water Glass, is a multi-purpose product with a variety of applications. It has a weight ratio of 3.22 and a 40 Baume density. It is commonly used as a foundry-grade, ceramic-grade, and carton adhesive-grade product. It can also be used as a deflocculant to prevent shrinkage of greenware, for surface application to create an instant antique look, to solidify and create an instant solid sand mold for metal castings, as a sealer for plaster and concrete surfaces, and as a treatment for wood to make it water-resistant and insect-free. When applied as a thin layer between surfaces to be bonded, it can also be used as an extraordinarily high-temperature adhesive and bonding agent. Note that liquid sodium silicate has a high alkaline level of 11.3 pH.

Product Specifications

Applications and Benefits:

• Used as a foundry-grade binder for instant solid sand molds in metal castings.
• Can be diluted to lower concentrations as required
• Used in ceramic applications as a deflocculant to help prevent greenware shrinkage.
• Suitable for carton adhesive applications and other bonding uses.
• Can be applied to surfaces to create an instant antique look.
• Used as a sealer for plaster and concrete surfaces.
• Can be used as a wood treatment to improve water resistance and help deter insects.
• Functions as a high-temperature adhesive and bonding agent when applied in a thin layer between surfaces.
• Used in adhesives and binders, agriculture, cements and construction materials, detergents, drilling, geotechnical and mineral processing, manufacture of other chemicals, pulp and paper, textiles, and water treatment.

Caution:

Liquid sodium silicate has a high alkaline level of 11.3 pH. Use care when handling this product and wear gloves and eye protection to prevent the possibility of burns.
