It has a molar ratio of 3.27 and a total solids content of 36.8%. It is produced by fusing sand (SiO2) with sodium carbonate which produces solid glass (cullet). The glass is then dissolved in water and steam under high pressure which produces the sodium silicate solution also known as water glass. It is widely used in industry as sealants, binders, deflocculants, emulsifiers and buffers. It is commonly used to seal concrete and cement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eUses for sodium silicate\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal repair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodium silicate is used, along with magnesium silicate in muffler repair and fitting paste. When dissolved in water, both sodium silicate, and magnesium silicate form a thick paste that is easy to apply. When the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine heats up to its operating temperature, the heat drives out all of the excess water from the paste. The silicate compounds that are left over have glass-like properties, making a somewhat permanent, brittle repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive repair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodium silicate can be used to seal leaks at the head gasket. Rather than pull the head, a jar of \"liquid glass\" is poured into the radiator and allowed to circulate. The Water glass is injected via the radiator water into the hotspot at the motor. This technique works because at 93 C the sodium silicate loses water molecules to form a very powerful sealant that will not re-melt below 815 C. This approach is often used by disreputable used-car salespersons to disguise a leaking head gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sodium silicate repair of a leaking head gasket can hold for up to two years and even longer in some cases. The effect will be almost instant, and steam from the radiator water will stop coming out the exhaust within minutes of application. This repair only works with water to cylinder or water to Air applications and where the sodium silicate reaches the \"conversion\" temperature of 93 C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs an Adhesive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodium silicate is also used currently as an exhaust system joint and crack sealer for repairing mufflers, resonators, tailpipes and other exhaust components, with and without fiberglass reinforcing tapes.

Apply a solution of sodium silicate, diluted 1 part silicate with up to 4 parts water by brush or low pressure sprayer.  Depending on porosity of concrete etc 2 or 3 applications may be necessary.

When blended with the aforementioned lightweight aggregates, water glass can be used to make hard, high-temperature insulation boards used for refractories, passive fire protection and high temperature insulations, such as moulded pipe insulation applications. When mixed with finely divided mineral powders, such as vermiculite dust (which is common scrap from the exfoliation process), one can produce high temperature adhesives. The intumescence disappears in the presence of finely divided mineral dust, whereby the waterglass becomes a mere matrix. Water-glass is inexpensive and abundantly available, which makes its use popular in many refractory applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater glass is used as a water treatment in waste water treatment plants.
