The Matech Circular Vibrating Screen is widely used for grading and screening materials in the fields of minerals, quarry, building materials, etc. Our vibrating screen has multi-layers and its screen size is various, it can screen out many kind of materials with different sizes.

Soap & Detergent Grade Sodium Silicate Liquid

Sodium silicate liquid, often referred to as “water glass,” is a compound made of silica (SiO₂) and sodium oxide (Na₂O). It is widely used in the soap and detergent industry due to its unique chemical properties. For soap and detergent applications, it typically comes in liquid form with specific ratios of silica to sodium oxide tailored to the requirements of the industry.

Properties:

  • Appearance: Transparent to slightly cloudy liquid.
  • Chemical Composition: Varies in terms of the silica to sodium oxide ratio (commonly 2:1 to 3.2:1).
  • Solubility: Completely soluble in water, forming a viscous solution.
  • pH: Alkaline in nature.

Advantages of Using Sodium Silicate Liquid in Soaps & Detergents

  1. Enhances Cleaning Efficiency:
    • Acts as a builder, softening water by binding to calcium and magnesium ions, enhancing the cleaning power of detergents.
  2. Improves Stability:
    • Stabilizes detergent formulations and prevents the decomposition of peroxides and other active ingredients.
  3. Cost-Effective:
    • A relatively inexpensive ingredient compared to other detergent additives, helping reduce production costs.
  4. Boosts Alkalinity:
    • Provides the necessary alkalinity to saponify fats and oils, enhancing soap production.
  5. Acts as a Corrosion Inhibitor:
    • Protects washing machines and other equipment from corrosion caused by alkaline detergents.
  6. Foam Stabilization:
    • Enhances foam formation and stabilization, improving the consumer experience with detergent products.
  7. Eco-Friendly:
    • Biodegradable and considered environmentally safe compared to some synthetic detergent components.
  8. Multi-Functional:
    • Acts as a binder, filler, and processing aid in both solid and liquid detergent formulations.
  9. Improves Detergent Texture:
    • Contributes to a uniform texture in powdered detergents, ensuring consistent quality.

Applications in Soap & Detergent Industry

  • Laundry Detergents: Enhances cleaning performance and removes tough stains.
  • Dishwashing Liquids: Boosts degreasing power and ensures residue-free cleaning.
  • Bar Soaps: Helps in soap saponification and improves hardness.
  • Industrial Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty cleaning products for its powerful degreasing and descaling properties.
