Sodium metasilicate anhydrous is a highly alkaline, sodium-based compound widely used in industrial and commercial applications for its cleaning, buffering, and corrosion-inhibiting properties. In chemical manufacturing, it serves as a builder and pH regulator in formulations, enhancing cleaning efficiency and stability. It is a key ingredient in detergents, industrial cleaners, and degreasers, where its strong alkalinity provides effective removal of oils, greases, and heavy soils.
Beyond cleaning products, sodium metasilicate anhydrous is applied in water treatment, pulp and paper processing, ceramics, and construction materials. It is also used as a corrosion inhibitor in metal treatment and as a binding agent in specialty adhesives and cements. With its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and multifunctional performance, sodium metasilicate anhydrous has become an essential raw material across industries ranging from manufacturing and maintenance to environmental and specialty applications.
