Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate enhances the suspension of removed soils such as grease and dirt deposits and prevents reaccumulation. For this reason, it's commonly used in manufacturing high-efficiency in soaps, detergents, and metal cleaners. It is extensively used in the manufacturing of Detergents, Silica Gel, Card-board, Paper, Textiles, Paints, Adhesives, Pottery, Sanitary-ware, Refractories, Foundry and Wood Processing Industries because of it's very good binding, adhesive, bleaching and sizing properties respectively.
