Detergents

Adding silicates to synthetic detergents is beneficial because it softens water and is easily rinsed away. Due to the great suspending and anti-re-deposition qualities, they do not leave deposits on the fibers. Let’s take a look at the role of crystalline sodium silicate in the washing industry.

Advantages & Benifits

  • Emulsification
    It can emulsify oil and sludge, and play a better washing effect.
  • Dispersion
    It can disperse clay, dirt, etc. from the surface of clothing, allowing it to transfer into solution.
  •  Neutralization and saponification
    In the washing industry, sodium silicate can also neutralize and saponify acidic sludge, peel it off, and play a washing effect.
  • Curb corrosion
    Liquid sodium silicate manufacturers said that most of the detergents are alkaline, and the addition of sodium silicate can play a role in curbing corrosion, maintaining the luster and repairing the surface of metals, glass, and porcelain.
  • Buffering effect
    That is, it has a buffering effect on the pH value, provides activity, and keeps the pH value of the detergent above 9.5.
