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.
N Hexane 136 kg Drum
n-Hexane is a straight-chain alkane with the chemical formula C6H14. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a slight odor that is commonly used as a solvent and as a raw material in the production of gasoline. In its pure form, n-hexane is highly volatile and can be easily ignited, so it is important to handle it with care.
