Sodium Silicate Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Form (Solid, Liquid), By Application (Detergent, Precipitated Silica, Construction, Pulp & Paper, Metal Casting, Water Treatment, Food Preservation, Others) And Regional Forecast 2022-2029

Sodium silicate is a generic name for chemical compounds with formula Na_2xSi_yO_2y+x or (Na₂O)_x·(SiO₂)_y. it is also known as water glass or liquid glass and is generally observed as colorless transparent solids or white colored powders. Some of the compounds are sodium metasilicate, sodium orthosilicate, sodium pyrosilicate and others. They have a wide range of applications including cement formulation, textile processing, adhesives, passive fire protection, silica gel production, refractory ceramics and others.

Sodium silicate is a prime source of reactive silica. High demand for reactive silica from various end-user industries including food & beverage, detergents, rubber, paper & pulp and others shall drive the market. additionally, high demand for silica derivatives like silica gels and silica sols from pharmaceuticals and chemical sector shall drive the market.
