Adding Silicasolution Sodium silicate to synthetic detergents is beneficial because it softens water and is easily rinsed away. Due to the great suspending and anti-re-deposition qualities, they do not leave deposits on the fibers. Their benefits include:
- It is a building agent used in household cleaning solutions cleaning
- Improves washing property of the detergent
- Prevents mineral deposits by removing water hardness
- Helps maintain suspension of the small dirt or greasy particles in washing liquid
- Acts as a surfactant that pulls dirt from the material for segregating the soils to come out of suspension; dispersion of deflocculating of soil
- Helps control the viscosity in production of detergent powder of a desired density
- An ingredient in the drying process in manufacture of detergent powder
- Acts as a binder to give appropriate degree of “hardness” to the spherical particles of detergent
- Its alkalinity enables them to neutralize acidic stains, promote emulsification of fats and oils and disperse or solubilize proteins
- Stabilizes pH to the desired level
- Used for Metal cleaning, textile processing, washing dishes, dairy equipment, bottles, floors, and locomotives
- Prevents phosphate reversion in liquid detergents
- Gives best result for liquid and paste soaps
- Enhances detergency of soap type detergent
