Sodium Silicate, commonly known as Water Glass, is an inorganic silicate compound produced by melting high-purity quartz sand with soda ash at high temperature. Its general chemical formula is Na₂O·nSiO₂, where the ratio between silicon dioxide and sodium oxide, known as the modulus, determines many of its physical and chemical properties.
Because of its excellent adhesion, dispersion ability, alkalinity, and chemical stability, sodium silicate has become an important industrial raw material across numerous manufacturing industries.
KYHG® supplies both Liquid Sodium Silicate and Solid Sodium Silicate, allowing customers to choose the most suitable product according to transportation, storage, and production requirements.
Liquid Sodium Silicate
Liquid sodium silicate is a transparent to slightly translucent alkaline solution that can be directly added into production processes without additional dissolution. It is widely used by large-scale manufacturers because of its convenience and production efficiency.
Typical applications include:
Foundry binder
Detergent production
Water treatment chemicals
Construction additives
Paper manufacturing
Solid Sodium Silicate
Solid sodium silicate is supplied in lump, granular, or crystalline form. Compared with liquid products, it offers easier storage, lower transportation costs for long-distance export, and longer shelf life. It can be dissolved with water before use according to the required concentration.
It is particularly suitable for distributors, overseas warehouses, and customers requiring flexible inventory management.
KYHG® Sodium Silicate (Water Glass) offers a combination of stable quality and versatile performance for industrial manufacturing.
Excellent Bonding Strength
Its strong adhesive properties make sodium silicate an ideal binder for foundry sand molds, refractory products, mineral wool boards, and inorganic construction materials.
Outstanding Dispersion Ability
Sodium silicate improves the dispersion of active ingredients in detergents and cleaning products while helping maintain formulation stability.
Fire and Corrosion Resistance
It is widely used in fireproof coatings, anti-corrosion coatings, refractory materials, and surface treatment formulations because of its excellent thermal resistance and chemical stability.
Chemical Stability
Stable modulus and low impurity content help improve production consistency while reducing equipment blockage and unwanted precipitation during long-term storage.
Flexible Customization
Different industries require different modulus values and concentrations. KYHG® provides customized production based on customer specifications, ensuring better compatibility with downstream manufacturing processes.
Customizable Modulus and Concentration
Different industrial applications require different sodium silicate properties. KYHG® offers customized production with modulus ranging from 2.0 to 3.5, while liquid products can be supplied in various Baumé concentrations according to customer requirements.
Automated production systems ensure precise formulation control, helping maintain modulus consistency and stable product performance from batch to batch.
Low Impurity Formula
Using premium quartz sand and advanced purification processes, KYHG® effectively reduces insoluble impurities such as calcium and iron.
Benefits include:
Lower sediment formation
Reduced pipeline blockage
Better solution clarity
Improved production stability
Longer storage life
This makes our sodium silicate especially suitable for continuous industrial production.
