Sodium Silicate is a water-soluble, viscous alkaline liquid with the general formula Na₂SiO₃ (ratios vary). Commonly referred to as water glass or liquid glass, it appears as a clear to slightly cloudy solution. This 20-litre packaged product is known for its excellent adhesive, binding, and sealing properties. It is widely used in industrial, construction, detergent, and water treatment applications. Sodium silicate forms a glassy film upon drying and resists high temperatures and chemical attack, making it extremely versatile across many industries.
