Features / Description of Sodium Silicate CASNo. 1344-09-8

Sodium Silicate is one from one of the groups of silicate binders used for paints. It has all properties to be in matrix, film forming and chemical binders. Chemical binders function by reacting with the material being agglomerated or by formulating with multiple components that will react with each other. Sodium silicate has a long history of being used as a chemical binder. Film forming binders are like glues and function by the evaporation of water or other solvent. Commercially available sodium silicates contain 45-65% water by weight. Loss of a small portion of this water, even under ambient conditions, will result in a strong, rigid, glassy film. Rate of drying will depend on ratio, concentration, viscosity, film thickness as well as temperature and relative humidity. The silicate binder may be subject to dissolution depending on use conditions; however some moisture resistance can be obtained by simply drying the silicate more completely through the addition of heat.
