Please note, this OEL/ADE monograph also applies to Sodium metasilicate anhydrous (CAS RN 1344-09-8), Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate (CAS RN 10213-79-3), and Sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (CAS RN 13517-24-3). Sodium metasilicate, also known as sodium silicate and water glass, is an inorganic sodium salt having silicate as the counterion. Due to the equimolar ratio SiO2/Na2O (molar ratio (MR) = 1), sodium metasilicate has a regular crystalline structure. Sodium metasilicate is a soluble silicate and has a crystalline structure with pentahydrate and nonahydrate differing from the anhydrous form only by their water of crystallization. Sodium metasilicate is a versatile ingredient that can be used as an adhesive, corrosion inhibitor, and sealant, in cements and drilling fluids, for fireproofing wood, paper, and fabric, as a detergent booster, in wastewater treatment, and as shell coating to preserve eggs. It is often used in hair color and as a corrosion inhibitor in cosmetics; it is also used in shaving, bath, and oral hygiene products. Sodium metasilicate is the main component of commercial sodium silicate solutions.
