Mining

Flotation is a widely used process for extracting many minerals from their ores. Our sodium silicates are used as an effective dispersant to keep undesired materials in suspension while the value minerals are carried to the surface by air bubbles.

Water Treatment

Our sodium silicates are used as corrosion inhibitor in water distribution systems such as drinking water- and industrial distribution pipelines. Furthermore, our sodium silicates also help in the complexation of iron and manganese to prevent discolouration. The benefit of sodium silicate as a corrosion inhibitor is also utilized in other applications such as engine antifreeze, detergents and metal surface cleaners.

Textile

In the textile industry our sodium silicates and metasilicates are used in operations such as cleaning, wool scouring, bleaching and dye fixation.Dye fixation: our sodium silicates are used as an alkaline buffering agent to keep reactive dyes stable.Bleach stabilisation: peroxides, used for bleaching, degrade under the catalytic influence of metals such as copper, iron and manganese. Adding our sodium silicate inactivates these metals and prevents the reactive oxygen from degrading prematurely.Detergency: our sodium metasilicates are particularly suitable to remove light or heavy grease and soil.

Oil and Drilling

Our sodium silicates are used in silicate-based drilling fluids, which are an effective, versatile and low cost alternative to oil-based drilling fluids. Our products are known for providing superior well bore stability.Our sodium metasilicates are very performant in normal and heavyweight slurries for reducing the mobility of water. They are widely used as a cost effective extender, allowing a higher ratio of water to cement. They can also be used as a cement accelator.
Latest company Solutions about METAL Surfaces Treatment
2025-03-28

METAL Surfaces Treatment

Metal surfaces are first cleaned before being processed. Cleaning with alkaline solutions is the oldest form of commercial metal cleaning and still the most widely used. Our granulated sodium metasilicates are especially suitable for metal surface cleaning. Their granular, free-flowing property makes them very convenient for dry mixing with other cleaning agents such as phosphates, soda ash or caustic soda. Their is a choice of three different grades of metasilicate: anhydrous, pentahydrate and nonahydrate, each of which differs in terms of concentration.For those who prefer to work with liquids, XINKE offers a complete portfolio of alkaline sodium silicates.
Latest company Solutions about Concrete
2025-03-28

Concrete

Our sodium metasilicates are used in concrete floor harderners. When sprayed on a concrete surface, the silicate penetrates the calcium hydroxide-saturated bleed water channels and voids where it reacts with the free lime (calcium hydroxide) to form insoluble calcium silicate hydrates. These gels increase the treated concrete surface density, strength and durability. The result is a concrete floor which is more abrasion resistant, less dusting and easier to maintain. In addition to increased protection, floors treated with silicate based floor hardeners gain an attractive, glossy sheen over time.We recommend to try our lithium silicates since they offer clear advantages compared to formulations based on standard sodium- and potassium silicates due to their lower alkalinity and viscosity. This results in silicate based hardeners that are safer, faster and easier to apply!

2025-03-28

Ceramic

Clay processing by deflocculation and wet grinding is a widely used procedure in the ceramic floor and wall tile industry. Our sodium silicates and metasilicates act as an effective, reliable and low cost deflocculant. They absorb onto the clay surface and causes the clay particles to repel one another. In this way, they reduce the viscosity of slips, making pumping easier, and reduce the energy costs of drying processes.

Cardboard

Sodium silicates with a high SiO2/Na2O ratio are very useful as adhesives in cardboard tube winding. Their higher content of polymeric silica results in strong and rigid bonds.Our sodium silicates can be adjusted regarding SiO2/Na2O ratio and solid content to meet your exact needs. They can also be modified with additives to reach optimum performance. SILMACO has developed sodium silicate based binders for both parallel and spiral wound tubes.
