Products Description
Sodium silicate represents the simplest type of glass material. It is available in three primary forms: translucent block glass lumps soluble under pressurized steam, white powders with different solubility grades, and clear or turbid liquid solutions.
The substance is non-flammable, yet certain safety hazards must be acknowledged. When sodium silicate powder disperses in air, dust explosion risks arise upon contact with ignition sources. Inhalation of its dust particles may trigger adverse health effects. Moreover, the glassy form of sodium silicate can create potential dangers for emergency personnel during accident handling.
