Sodium silicate, or water glass, is a colorless, flaked and inorganic compound composed of sodium and silica oxides. It consists of a silicate in the form of a counterion and is manufactured by fusing silicon dioxide from sand and sodium oxide from soda ash. It is commonly available in crystalline and anhydrous forms and is widely used in soaps, refractory cement, drilling fluids, detergents, adhesives, mineral processing and zeolites. It is also widely utilized as a pickling agent and corrosion inhibitor. Sodium silicate exhibits various advantageous properties, such as high temperature, acid and water resistance and enhanced stability in alkaline solutions. As a result, it finds extensive application across various industries, such as textile, automotive, paper and pharmaceutical.

Sodium Silicate Market Trends:
Significant growth in the pulp and paper industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Sodium silicate is widely used as a stabilizer for pulp bleaching, additive for de-inking recycled paper and as adhesive to bond paper board and cardboard. Additionally, the widespread product adoption in the construction industry for concrete hardening, cement refractories and soil stabilization is favoring the market growth. Various product innovations, such as the utilization of eco-friendly raw materials for the manufacturing of sodium silicate, are providing a thrust to the market growth. In line with this, the widespread utilization of sodium silicate in the textile industry for cleaning, finishing, kier boiling, wool scouring, bleaching and degumming of fabrics is positively impacting the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing adoption of sodium silicate as a cleaning agent and pH stabilizer in water treatment plants, along with the implementation of various government initiatives to enhance treatment and stabilization facilities, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
