Sodium Silicate Solution

Sodium Silicate Solution Also known as water glass or liquid glass, available in aqueous solution and in solid form, soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. There are various states of this compound; all are glassy, colorless, and soluble in water. Sodium silicate is stable in neutral and alkaline solutions. In acidic solutions, the silicate ion reacts with hydrogen ions to form silica acid, which when heated and roasted forms silica gel, a hard, glassy substance.
