Sodium silicate, also known as liquid glass, is a versatile compound used in a variety of industries due to its strong binding, sealing, and protective properties. In water treatment, it helps soften hard water and prevents scale buildup in pipes and boilers. In construction, it is used as a binder in concrete and cement, enhancing strength and water resistance, while also serving as a key ingredient in adhesives for paper, wood, and cardboard products.
