Goodtkade Sodium Silicate Water Glass Powder – 1 lb

This sodium silicate powder, known as water glass, is a versatile inorganic compound widely used in various professional and craft applications. When mixed with water, it forms a viscous alkaline solution effective as a binder, deflocculant, and sealant. In pottery and ceramics, sodium silicate acts as a deflocculant, helping to prevent clay particles from clumping during slip casting, resulting in smoother, uniform outcomes. Additionally, it can create decorative crackled textures on pottery when applied prior to firing. As a high-temperature adhesive and sealant, this product effectively bonds to materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, and glass, making it suitable for a range of craft and repair projects. In construction and civil engineering, sodium silicate serves as a soil hardening agent and waterproofing sealant, enhancing backfill soil stability and reducing soil porosity to limit water penetration in structural applications. It also functions as a corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor in water treatment systems and serves as a binder in abrasives, grinding wheels, and refractory materials. **Important:** This sodium silicate powder is intended for professional, craft, and industrial applications only. It is NOT suitable for any food-related uses, such as egg preservation or food packaging.
