  <common_name>Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3)</common_name>
  <class>SmallMolecule</class>
  <description>Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) has a formula of H6NaOSi and an average molecular weight of 73.12 g/mol. Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) belongs to the alkali metal oxides, a subclass of alkali metal organides within the inorganic compounds.

This compound is utilized in various industrial roles and uses, serving as a chelating agent, cleaning agent, pH regulating agent, corrosion inhibitor, surfactant (surface active agent), and as processing aids not otherwise specified. Additionally, it is used as a curing agent (PMC8708089), an additive (PMC11396579), and an activator (PMC12696071).

Sodium silicate is found in or released from 51 recorded sources. In the category of electrical and electronic equipment, these sources include antennas, coils, adjustable resistors, communication cables or conductors, and colour television systems. Within household cleaning and consumer products, it is found in bleaching agents, ash trays, cigar cigarettes, non electric simulated smoking devices, and other smoking requisites. Building and construction sources include ceilings, floors, roofs, fencing, and stairs and ramps. Furthermore, it is associated with food, food processing and cookware, specifically in the preparation of wine or sparkling wine, the preparation of vinegar, the preparation of malt, fermentation processes for beer, and agglomerated sugar products.</description>
