Water glass

Other names: Sodium silicate, water glass, sodium silicate, soluble glass

Harm score: 3 (Harmless chemicals)


Water glass, also known as sodium silicate, water glass, sodium silicate or soluble glass, is a special type of chemical that is produced by combining sodium sulfate and quartz at high temperatures. This process produces flux, which is then cooled and hydrated, resulting in the formation of water glass. Water glass has a very wide range of applications due to its unique properties such as high temperature resistance, chemical stability and the ability to form waterproof and adhesive layers.

Due to these properties, water glass is used in many industries and a wide variety of products. The most common examples include its use in the construction industry where it is used as an adhesive to bond various materials, as an insulating material to protect against moisture and mould, in concrete to increase its durability and also as a component of coatings. In industry, water glass is often used as a component of cleaning and bleaching agents, in the textile industry to soften and treat fabrics, and in the automotive industry to protect engines and other vehicle parts against corrosive influences. In the food industry, water glass can be used as a preservative, as it can keep eggs fresh for more than 9 months.
