1000L IBC Sodium Silicate Solution
Sodium silicate solution, commonly known as water glass or liquid glass, has extensive industrial applications ranging from cement formulation to automotive repair. Ensuring its safe transport and storage is crucial due to its chemical properties. This is where the truly reusable VARIBOX Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) come into play, designed to meet these specific needs with reliability and safety.
What is Sodium Silicate Solution?
Sodium silicate solution, represented by the chemical formula Na2O3Si, serves various sectors with its unique binding, adhesive, and fire-resistant properties. Its liquid form is particularly useful in detergents, paper, water treatment, and metal repair.
This solution does not fall under specific international guidelines like those set by the UN or ADR for hazardous chemicals. This absence might simplify logistics and reduce regulatory compliance costs, highlighting the need for robust containment solutions.
Why choose the VARIBOX
The chemical stability and compatibility of VARIBOX IBCs make them perfect for Sodium silicate solution. Whether it’s a high or low concentration, the integrity of the solution remains intact, avoiding any risk of contamination or degradation.
Safety and Efficiency
Safety is paramount when handling chemicals, and VARIBOX IBCs are equipped with features like spill containment, easy handling, and stackability, which not only ensure safety but also enhance operational efficiency in transportation and storage.
Choose the EPDM of the VARIBOX
The advised material for VARIBOX IBCs when dealing with solution is EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber). EPDM is resistant to weathering, ozone, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for long-term storage of aggressive substances like this chemical. The most important number for this chemical substance are:
