Sodium silicate (CAS 1344-09-8): companion and pitfall notes for Industrial Chemicals
A recent Industrial Chemicals selection case got stuck on how to pair and compatibilise Sodium silicate (CAS 1344-09-8). Worth walking the logic through using that example.
Basic specifications
| Name | Sodium silicate |
|---|---|
| English name | Sodium silicate |
| CAS No. | 1344-09-8 |
| Formula | Na2O3Si |
| Molecular weight | 122.063 g/mol |
| Applications | Industrial Chemicals |
| Standard purity | per batch COA |
| Packaging | confirmed per order |
| Storage | keep sealed in a cool, dry place |
Figures above are published / typical information; final values follow the batch COA and order confirmation.
Key physical data: molecular formula Na2O3Si, molecular weight 122.063 g/mol, CAS 1344-09-8, melting point 1089 °C, boiling point 102 °C. These are published physical properties; purity and packaging follow the batch COA and order confirmation.
How it works
What actually decides the result is not a single number.Industrially, the value of Sodium silicate (CAS 1344-09-8) is rarely on the spec sheet — it is whether it stably meets your process window. In Industrial Chemicals, its purity, impurity profile and batch consistency usually matter more than a single 'assay' number, because what really moves the finished result is often the ignored impurities and physical properties. Comparable grades:
- Ammonium bromide (CAS 12124-97-9)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Aluminium stearate (CAS 637-12-7)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Acetic acid,sodium salt trihydrate (CAS 6131-90-4)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Albuterol sulfate (CAS 51022-70-9)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Aluminum fluoride (CAS 7784-18-1)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Ammonium thiosulfate (CAS 7783-18-8)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- Aluminium Oxide (CAS 1344-28-1)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
- atropine sulphate (CAS 55-48-1)：a comparable grade often evaluated alongside。
How to get the choice right
- The single most important one: Define the end use and process window first, then work back to required purity and impurity limits — not the other way around.
- Check compatibility with other materials in the system; run a trial when unsure.
- Match packaging and feeding method to on-site equipment so the material is usable on arrival.
- Retain samples of critical lots and run third-party checks; do not rely on the supplier COA alone.
Mistakes people make
Comparing price but not impurity profile: same assay with different impurities can yield wildly different results.
Skipping samples and scaling up: going straight to volume most often fails on compatibility.
Ignoring transport and storage: most 'arrived-dead' cases trace back to loose handling.
A few things people ask
Where is Sodium silicate mainly used?
Mostly in Industrial Chemicals-related processes and formulations; the exact use depends on the finished product and process requirements.
How do I judge whether the specification fits?
State the use, process window and critical limits so the supplier can recommend a grade; when unsure, validate with a trial first.
