Sodium water glass is an essential inorganic non-metallic material known as sodium silicate aqueous solution. It is made of sodium silicate and water mixed in a particular proportion and has the characteristics of adhesiveness, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It is widely used in construction, petroleum, the chemical industry, textiles, and other fields.
The composition of sodium water glass
Sodium water glass is mainly composed of sodium silicate, water and additives. Among them, sodium silicate is the main component, and its content is generally controlled between 38% and 50%. Sodium silicate contains silicon and oxygen, with the molecular formula Na2SiO3. It is a white or light yellow powder easily soluble in water.
Properties of sodium water glass
- Adhesion
Soda-water glass has strong adhesion and can bond with various materials, such as cement, masonry, wood, etc. In construction, soda-water glass is widely used to bond materials such as masonry and cement to create high-performance building materials.
- Corrosion resistance
Sodium water glass has good corrosion resistance and can effectively resist the corrosion of various chemical substances. Therefore, soda-water glass is widely used to manufacture corrosion-resistant equipment and pipelines in the chemical industry, petroleum, and other fields.
- Heat resistance
Sodium water glass has good heat resistance and can maintain stable performance at high temperatures. In the textile field, sodium water glass is used to manufacture products such as high-temperature resistant fabric treatment agents and fire retardants.
Application of sodium water glass
- Construction field
In construction, sodium water glass is widely used to manufacture high-performance building materials. For example, cement bonded with sodium water glass has high strength, durability and corrosion resistance, which can improve the quality and life of buildings. In addition, sodium water glass can also be used to make products such as waterproof coatings and refractory materials.
- Petrochemical industry
In the petrochemical industry, sodium water glass is widely used to manufacture corrosion-resistant equipment and pipelines. Because petroleum and chemical products are highly corrosive, corrosion-resistant materials are required to store and transport these products. Equipment and pipes made of sodium water glass have long service life and low maintenance costs, so they are widely used in the petrochemical industry.
- Textile field
In the textile field, sodium water glass is used to manufacture products such as high-temperature resistant fabric treatment agents and fire retardants. For example, fire retardants made of sodium water glass can prevent fire from spreading and protect people’s lives and property. In addition, sodium water glass can manufacture processing agents and adhesives for leather, paper, glass, and other products.
As an essential inorganic non-metallic material, sodium water glass has the characteristics of adhesion, corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It is widely used in construction, petroleum, the chemical industry, textiles, and other fields. In the future, with the continuous advancement of science and skill and the expansion of application fields, sodium water glass will be more widely used and developed.
