Product Description

Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na₂SiO₃·5H₂O. It is a crystalline solid with an approximate pH of 12.6 that dissolves readily in water to generate a highly alkaline solution. This molecule has distinct molecular weight (212.14 g/mol) and density (1.49 g/cm³), among other unique physical and chemical characteristics.

It is typically produced by fusing high-purity sand with soda ash (sodium carbonate) at high temperatures. The resulting product is then dissolved in water, cooled, and crystallized to form the pentahydrate. This chemical is used in detergents, cleaning agents, cement, concrete mixtures, degreasing agents, rust removers, textile processing, water treatment, paper manufacturing, and the ceramic industry. This compound is known for its effective cleaning, eco-friendly nature, corrosion inhibition, and cost-effectiveness. It aids in improving the longevity of products, extending the lifespan of equipment, and protecting metal surfaces from corrosion.
