Sodium Silicate Liquid
- Humidification - Surfactant molecules act as agents to reduce the surface tension of the liquid, allowing the hard surfaces of plant tissues to properly get wet during washing
- Emulsification - Greasy stains are dispersed as a fine mist that remains suspended in the wash solution
- Deflocculation - Stains or inorganic particles are broken down into fine particles in the wash solution
- Sequestering power and conditioner – Silicates remove minerals and therefore the hardness of the wash water is reduced through an ion-exchange mechanism that generates compounds (primarily calcium, magnesium, iron, and manganese) that are removed during rinsing.
- Corrosion Prevention – Silicates help protect metal surfaces that are susceptible to the corrosive effects of other detergent ingredients.
