Sodium Silicate

Sodium Silicate liquid is a compound formed by combining sodium carbonate (soda ash) and silica (sand) through a high-temperature fusion process. It is available in different ratios of sodium oxide (Na₂O) to silicon dioxide (SiO₂), giving rise to various grades with distinct properties suited for different applications.
