Sodium Silicate Glass
High-Purity Sodium Silicate Glass – Engineered for Industrial Excellence
At Peshawar Chemicals, we produce and supply premium-grade Sodium Silicate Glass, a vital raw material for numerous chemical and industrial processes. Manufactured with precision and consistency, our sodium silicate glass meets the stringent demands of manufacturers across diverse sectors.
What is Sodium Silicate Glass?
Sodium Silicate Glass, also known as water glass in solid form, is a hard, glassy, and often translucent material composed primarily of sodium oxide (Na₂O) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It serves as the raw material for producing sodium silicate liquids and powders and is widely used for its chemical reactivity, durability, and solubility under high pH conditions.
