Sodium Silicate Solution (40%) (Na2SiO3)
Sodium Silicate Solution (40%) Sodium silicates are colorless glassy or crystalline solids, or white powders. Except for the most silicon-rich ones, they are readily soluble in water, producing alkaline solutions. When dried up it still can be rehydrated back in water. Sodium silicates are stable in neutral and alkaline solutions. Sodium silicate solution 40% is a concentrated aqueous solution of sodium silicate, often referred to as liquid glass or water glass. This solution is used in various industrial and commercial applications due to its unique properties and versatility.
