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

Normal Butanol 165 kg
Normal butanol, also known as n-butanol or 1-butanol, is a four-carbon alcohol that is commonly used as a solvent, chemical intermediate, and fuel. Its chemical formula is C4H10O, and it is an isomer of other butanols, including isobutanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol. The term "normal" in the name refers to the fact that the butyl group (C4H9) is attached to the primary carbon atom (the one with only one other carbon atom attached to it) of the alcohol functional group.
Petroleum Resin C9 Hydrocarbon 25 kg Bag
Petroleum resin C9 hydrocarbon, also known as C9 hydrocarbon resin or simply C9 resin, is a type of thermoplastic resin that is derived from the distillation of petroleum products. It is composed primarily of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and is typically produced by the polymerization of C9 fraction of petroleum, which is obtained by the distillation of crude oil.
C9 hydrocarbon resin is a highly versatile material that finds use in a wide range of industrial applications, including adhesives, coatings, printing inks, rubber compounding, and more. It is valued for its excellent solubility, compatibility with other resins, and ability to enhance the properties of other materials, such as adhesion, tack, and flexibility.
In summary, petroleum resin C9 hydrocarbon is a type of polymer derived from petroleum that is widely used in various industries for its unique properties and compatibility with other materials
Pine Oil 185 kg
Pine oil is a clear to pale yellow essential oil that is derived from the needles, twigs, and cones of pine trees through steam distillation. It has a distinct, fresh, and woody aroma with a hint of balsamic and turpentine-like notes. Pine oil is commonly used in aromatherapy, cleaning products, and as a natural insect repellent. It contains various beneficial compounds, such as alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and limonene, that have potential health and wellness benefits.
