Silica fluoride sodium, Kyiv

Sodium silicofluoride is a white, rarely yellowish powder and has the chemical formula Na2SiO6. This material is obtained by conducting a chemical reaction between caustic sodium Na2 and silicofluoric acid SiF6. After the reaction, the composition is evaporated on special equipment, resulting in the desired compound.
Sodium silicofluoride is poorly soluble in water, but has a fairly high hygroscopicity. According to the standards, technical sodium silicofluoride should contain at least 98% pure substance. The powder is fire- and explosion-proof, but an increase in temperature contributes to its gradual decomposition with the release of toxic gases (complete decomposition of the composition occurs at a temperature of 530°C).
Field of application
Technical sodium silicofluoride is very widely used in various branches of economy, starting with light and ending with the chemical industry and construction.
In the chemical industry, it is used to obtain sodium aluminum fluoride, potassium silicon fluoride, ammonium fluoride and other important compounds and substances. As a mandatory ingredient, it is included in fluxes for soldering and welding of various metals. It is used as a component of a solution for etching glass to obtain an opaque surface.
In construction, this material is widely used for the production of special cements and mastics. The use of sodium silicofluoride gives these compositions increased strength and acid resistance. The obtained mastics are used for preservation of metal and concrete structures.(//tractor-service.com)
In animal husbandry, this compound is included in the composition of substances for the preservation of skins, as well as for the fight against agricultural pests.
Instructions for use
Sodium silicofluoride is used in various compositions and solutions strictly within the recommended dose.
Surplus unused ingredients are stored separately and returned to the warehouse.
It is prohibited to eat near the use of sodium silicofluoride, and personnel must use special protective equipment when working with the compound.
After finishing work, you must wash your hands and body.
