Sodium silicate（Cat No.:M048206）, commonly known as water glass or soluble glass, is a versatile compound with the formula Na₂SiO₃. It exists as a white solid or a colorless, viscous liquid, depending on its concentration and water content. Sodium silicate is manufactured through the melting of silica sand with sodium carbonate at high temperatures. It is widely used in a variety of industrial applications including as an adhesive, in paper production, water treatment, and as a fire-resistant material. Its properties as a binder and sealant make it valuable in both the construction and automotive industries.
