SPECIFICATION
usage
FOOD AND BEVERAGES Bathing fresh eggs with a water glass solution seals the open pores of the outer egg shell, preventing bacteria from entering. With this coating, eggs can remain fresh and unrefrigerated for months.
AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR Head gaskets often become brittle over time, which can cause leaks where they intersect with metal surfaces. Water glass seals these leaks, allowing the gaskets to perform for longer stretches of time.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT A small amount of water glass added to municipal water treatment plants or wastewater treatment plants acts as a flocculant, combining heavy metals so their weight causes them to sink to the bottom of the tank.
DRILLING When industrial drills meet granular formations with a high permeability, it seriously dulls the drill bit. Injecting water glass and a catalyst, such as an ester, into the soil will form a polymerized gel to stabilize the soil, and increase its strength and stiffness.
