Molecular formula: Na2SiO3 5H2O
This is 1kg Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate supplied in very strong HDPE bottle with tamper and child proof cap, packed in Ribble Valley UK
USES
Detergents and soap, textile processing , pulp and paper, elastomers, disinfection agents, coatings, agriculture, ceramic industry.
Sodium Metasilicate mainly
used in making high efficiency detergent and metal cleaner. Instead of
STPP, it can raise cleaning efficiency and reduce environment pollution,
provides excellent alkaline buffer, corrosion prevention for metal
(i.e. Zinc, Aluminum), and function of softening water. Mainly used as
aids of washes detergent improver and metal cleaner.
Pulp and Paper
Sodium metasilicate is in the pulp and paper industry. It is used in sizing and coating paper. It is also used, coupled with hydrogen peroxide, in the cellulose bleaching process, in which it acts as a buffer and stabilizing agent.

Soaps and Detergents
Due to a combination of excellent properties, including good emulsifying
and suspension properties, along with reserve alkalinity, sodium
metasilicate is finding uses in soaps and detergents, including those
for automatic dish-washing use.
Automotive Uses
Elevated temperature is the key to sodium metasilicate’s usefulness in automotive applications.

Cements and Binders
With the loss of a little water, sodium metasilicate becomes an excellent cement or binding agent, especially for higher-temperature applications, or applications involving exposure to water or acids.

Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is widely used with
gradually expanded scope of application. In daily chemical industry, it
is mainly used for high concentration phosphate-free washing powder,
liquid detergent, cleanser essence, tableware detergent. These daily
products are widely used in household cleaning.
Egg Preservative Historically, eggs have been preserved by immersion in a sodium silicate
solution. This solution seals eggs, thus preserving them from bacteria,
which leads to spoilage. The coating preserves eggs for a number of
months.
