Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate CAS 10213-79-3

Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate, chemically defined as a strongly alkaline inorganic salt, is extensively utilized in industrial cleaning formulations and heavy-duty detergent manufacturing. This Disodium metasilicate pentahydrate functions as a high-performance builder and buffering agent, maintaining stable pH levels while facilitating the saponification of fats and emulsification of oils. Distinct from its anhydrous counterpart, this Sodium silicate pentahydrate offers rapid solubility in aqueous systems, making it a critical bulk material for textile bleaching, paper de-inking processes, and ceramic production. Also technically referenced as Silicic acid disodium salt pentahydrate, it serves to suspend soil particles and prevent redeposition in complex washing cycles. We provide competitive factory pricing and ensure customized specifications regarding particle size and packaging. Each batch is supported by full documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, and is available for bulk supply to global industrial partners.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Is CAS 10213-79-3 specific to the pentahydrate form of Sodium Metasilicate?

    A: Yes. CAS 10213-79-3 explicitly identifies Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate(Na2SiO3·5H2O). The anhydrous form of the silicate is typically registered under a different identifier, such as CAS 6834-92-0.
  • Q:

    Is Sodium silicate pentahydrate suitable for use in metal surface treatment?

    A: Yes, Sodium silicate pentahydrate is commonly applied in metal cleaning and degreasing baths due to its corrosion inhibition properties on aluminum, zinc, and copper surfaces when used in appropriate concentrations.
