The difference between sodium silicate and water glass

2015/2/11      view:
     Now, with the development of the economy, more and more customers come to us to talk with the sodium silicate furnace, today I will tell you the classification of sodium silicate, and the differences between and sodium silicate and water glass.
    1, classification of sodium silicate:
    According to the different production methods, it can be divided into two kinds: solid sodium silicate and liquid sodium silicate, solid sodium silicate is produced by the dry process, the liquid sodium silicate produced by the wet process.
    2. What is the difference between the sodium silicate and water glass?
    Water glass is soluble alkaline metal silicate material that is defined by the combination of alkali metal oxide and silicon dioxide, also known as sodium silicate. The most commonly used is sodium water glass, the formula is Na2O.nSiO2, there is also potassium silicate water glass, the formula is K2O.nSiO2.
    So the difference between sodium silicate and sodium silicate are:
    ① Water glass is soluble alkaline metal silicate material that is defined by the combination of alkali metal oxide and silicon dioxide, also known as sodium silicate, potassium silicate is also a kind of water glass
    ② sodium water glass is only liquid sodium silicate, and free of solid sodium silicate.
