How do you use Sodium silicate?
2022-11-28
Water-solubility sodium silicate,also called soluble glass(Na2SiO3),water-solubility,colourless，greenish or brown solid or viscous liquid.Sodium silicate is made of silica (quartz sand), soda ash (or soil alkali) in the melting kiln by melting, cooling, crushing.
Because sodium silicate often contains some particulate impurities,after the centrifugal pump stops conveying and stopping the pump,some fluid can't be drained completely,in the pump will be bonded into hard material, affecting the general mechanical seal,the service life is very short.If there is no mechanical seal, the leakage is serious.So liquid sodium silicate is usually delivered at about 50 degrees,the liquid is strongly basic.Sodium silicate typically has a life span of about five years,even the good ones have a life span of seven or eight years,so at a certain period of time, the solubility of sodium silicate will have the following or even failure.Like the laundry detergent that we all use,and the retention period,after a while, it clumps together,the stain removal is not good.
Sodium silicate is a common washing powder,those that are past their expiration date will not be used during curing.Carefully check the degree of vulcanization before use.In order to prolong the service life of solid sodium silicate, it should be placed in a dry and ventilated place free from oil, dirt, water.
