Sodium silicate, commonly known as water glass or liquid glass, is a compound containing sodium oxide (Na₂O) and silica (SiO₂). It is typically represented by the formula Na2SiO3text{Na}_2text{SiO}_3Na2SiO3, but it can vary, forming a range of compositions depending on the ratio of sodium oxide to silica.
Properties
- Physical State: It is usually found in a glassy, crystalline solid form or as a thick, syrupy liquid.
- Appearance: Colorless to light brown.
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a viscous solution.
- pH: Alkaline, typically around 11-12.
Production
Sodium silicate is produced by fusing sodium carbonate (soda ash) and silica sand at high temperatures. The general reaction is: Na2CO3+SiO2→Na2SiO3+CO2text{Na}_2text{CO}_3 + text{SiO}_2 rightarrow text{Na}_2text{SiO}_3 + text{CO}_2Na2CO3+SiO2→Na2SiO3+CO2

Micro crystalline Wax 25kg
Micro crystalline wax is a type of wax derived from the refining process of crude oil. It is composed of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, with a higher percentage of branched and cyclic molecules than straight-chain molecules. Microcrystalline wax is characterized by its small crystal size, which gives it a smooth texture and makes it less brittle than other types of waxes. It is commonly used in a variety of industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, as a lubricant, emulsifier, and water-resistant coating.

Solvent Naphtha C10 150 180kg Drum
Solvent naphtha is a term used to describe a group of hydrocarbon solvents that are commonly derived from petroleum. These solvents are typically used in industrial processes such as cleaning, degreasing, and as a diluent in the production of paints, coatings, and adhesives. Solvent naphtha can vary in composition, but it generally refers to a mixture of straight-chain and branched-chain hydrocarbons with boiling points in the range of 130°C to 230°C. The exact composition and properties of solvent naphtha can vary depending on the source of the petroleum from which it is derived and the specific refining processes used to produce it
