Other details:-
Sodium silicate is the common name for compounds with the formula (Na 2 SiO 2 ) n O
A well-known member of this series is sodium metasilicate, Na 2 SiO 3
Also known as waterglass or liquid glass, these materials are available in aqueous solution and in solid form
The pure compositions are colorless or white, but commercial samples are often greenish or blue owing to the presence of iron-containing impurities
Sodium silicate is used in ceramic industries as a deflocculant in casting slips helping reduce viscosity and the need for large amounts of water to liquidize the clay body
It is also used to create a crackle effect in pottery, usually wheel-thrown
A vase or bottle is thrown on the wheel, narrow and with thick walls
Sodium silicate is brushed on a section of the piece
After 5 minutes, the wall of the piece is stretched outward with a rib or hand
The result is a wrinkled or cracked look
It is also the main agent in "magic water", which is used when joining clay pieces, especially if the moisture level of the two differs In industry, the various grades of sodium silicate are characterized by their SiO 2 :Na 2 O weight ratio (weight ratios can be converted to molar ratios by multiplication with 1.032), which can vary between 2:1 and 3.75:1.]
Grades with this ratio below 2.85:1 are termed alkaline
Those with a higher SiO 2 :Na 2 O ratio are described as neutral
