Overview

Sodium Metasilicate is an inorganic alkaline compound widely used in industrial, commercial, and manufacturing applications where cleaning performance, buffering capacity, and corrosion control are required. It functions as a builder, pH regulator, and dispersing agent in a variety of aqueous formulations, particularly in high-alkalinity systems.

In cleaning and detergent applications, Sodium Metasilicate contributes to soil removal by softening water, stabilizing formulations, and enhancing the effectiveness of surfactants. It is commonly used in industrial and institutional cleaners, metal cleaners, and degreasers, as well as in applications requiring strong alkalinity and controlled corrosion inhibition. Beyond cleaning formulations, Sodium Metasilicate is utilized in ceramics, cement, pulp and paper processing, and water treatment applications.
