Sodium Meta Silicate Pentahydrate
Product Overview
Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate (Na2SiO3·5H2O) — alkaline builder, corrosion inhibitor, and cleaning agent for heavy-duty industrial and institutional detergents in Oman.
Detailed Description
Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate (Na2SiO3·5H2O) supplier in Oman — Global Chemicals LLC supplies sodium metasilicate pentahydrate to industrial cleaning product manufacturers, institutional cleaning formulators, and chemical blenders across Muscat, Sohar Industrial Area, and Oman. Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is a powerful alkaline builder and multi-functional detergent ingredient combining strong alkalinity (pH 12–13 in solution), emulsification of oils and greases, peptisation of soil, corrosion inhibition of metal surfaces, and buffering capacity in a single ingredient. It is produced by reacting sodium hydroxide with silicon dioxide (sand), then crystallising with five molecules of water of hydration. The pentahydrate form is safer and easier to handle than anhydrous sodium metasilicate due to its lower alkalinity release rate and reduced dust generation. In industrial cleaning formulations, SMS pentahydrate is the key alkaline builder in automatic dishwasher compounds, CIP (Clean-in-Place) cleaners for food and beverage plants, oven and grill cleaners, vehicle wash compounds, bottle washing detergents, and metal cleaning baths. It also provides corrosion protection for aluminium, zinc, and other metals when used in cleaning applications. Global Chemicals LLC supplies SMS pentahydrate in 25kg bags. SDS and TDS provided.
