In the 70s, I lived on a back-to-the-land homestead. We would buy waterglass in 1 quart cans and mix it in 3 gallons of water in a 5-gallon crock to store extra summer eggs for the winter. Each day we would drop 3 of 4 eggs in the crock until full. Make sure to use a strong lid with a brick on it to keep out rodents. The eggs would be suitable for cooking and scrambling with other ingredients but not good for frying as the yokes would be flat and easily mixed into the whites. This trick was a savior!
Thanks Sam for giving us your experience. It is very much appreciated.
I've heard of sodium silicate being used to preserve eggs. I thought the eggs were just dipped and dried to form a sealing film, like a concrete sealant. Thank you for all the additional information!
@@edeaglehouse2221 Hi there. To use sodium silicate to preserve eggs, place the eggs gently in a clean, non-reactive container (like a glass or plastic jar), and then pour the sodium silicate solution over them until they are completely submerged. Seal the container and store it in a cool, dark place. The eggs should remain submerged in the solution during storage. Warm regards, Ed
So you don't heat and dry the solution just remove eggs and rinse?
@@edwinsutton5076 I don,t know about heating and drying the solution, we just dropped the eggs in the waterglass/water solution. The waterglass solution seals the eggshell from any air or pollutants, it was just as simple as that. If we needed 4 eggs we would just ladle them out and use them. It could be that having the eggs in 4 gallons of solution helped moderate their temperature in storage.
I have a Hobbies and Crafts magazine from the 1940s and it shows how to make "trick" matches by dipping the stalks of a match into waterglass up to the head, then letting dry and putting them back into the box. The waterglass is invisible.
You then give them to a friend and watch their frustration as they light them, the head flares up and they go out instantly after that!
Am sO gonna' try this! lol. Thanks!
Very informative and no unnecessary detail. Excellent well done!
I've got a blown head gasket. Was told to use "Water Glass". Now I know why I want to use it knowing what I'm attempting to achieve. The stuff is everywhere everyday. I had no idea. Good informative video.
Until today I didn't know there was such a product. This was an amazingly informative video
Thanks, informative, got a lot more information than I expected
Thank you for your thoughful comment.
@@EnvironMolds Hi, does a wood after covering of sodium silicate layer is still flammable ? What is a difference between a sodium silicate and usual liquid silicate glue ?
@@backupviber6285 Thanks so much for your question. After dipping wood it will be transparent when it dries. Any attempt to light it will cause the flame to extinguish. As to your other question: Sodium Silicate: This is a generic term that refers to compounds made from sodium oxide (Na2O) and silicon dioxide (SiO2), also known as silica, combined with water. Sodium silicate is also known as water glass or liquid glass and is available in various ratios of sodium to silica that can affect its properties like viscosity, melting point, and chemical reactivity.
Liquid Silicate Glue: This is a specific type of adhesive product that is derived from sodium silicate. The formulation is adjusted (usually with additives) to enhance its adhesive properties and make it suitable for glue applications. It is designed to be less brittle and more flexible compared to plain sodium silicate solutions.
@EnvironMolds thank you very much for your detailed answer. I am thinking with what to cover wood, to make it really flame-protected
In my childhood, my dad put this into the radiator on our old car. Stopped any size leak smaller than grain of rice. It works quickly.
To, just don't use too much, it's also been used to disable engines as well, just takes a lot more

Very informative andva clear explanation . Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
someone asked can it be used to seal or waterproof a Styrofoam?please reply, thanks. @@EnvironMolds
Sodium silicate is a water repellant - not a water proofer. It is used indoors primarily on concrete to seal against sluffing off of concrete dust. You can hose it down, but over time constant exposure to water such as rain outside will wear away the seal coat. @@jojinapigkit4680
Wow! Great video. TIL

Now that your an adult....Meth Crystals????? Perhaps???
I used to repair rusty exhaust pipes on my 1960 Chevy Impala. I was in college & didn’t have money to replace my exhaust system, so my dad showed me how they used to seal up holes back in the 1930s during the Depression.
1. Wrap the leaky area with aluminum foil
2. Buy FURNACE WRAPPING PAPER (flexible sheets or rolls of asbestos. I don’t think you can buy this any longer)
3. Soak the asbestos paper with water glass.
4. Wrap the exhaust pipe with the water glass-soaked furnace wrap.
5. After it dries, wrap the repaired area with more aluminum foil and finish by securing the top layer of foil with mechanic’s wire.
The patch will hold up for a couple of weeks to months - or until another section of pipe rots out and you finally have to buy a real exhaust pipe. .
Hi Steven, Thanks so much for the information. I am certain it will be helpful to someone. Warm regards, Ed
This is a fact dense video and I love it. Thanks for posting this video!
Thanks for your comments
Some of the facts are inaccurate. They show an image of a crackle glaze effect and attributed to sodium silicate which is not the case. Hopefully no new Potter's will attempt to get a crackle glaze effect by using sodium silicate.
Sodium silicate will cause a crackled clay body not glaze it would actually prevent a glaze from crackling because of the addition of silica. If you are developing a glaze and it's not intended to be a crackle glaze yet you find it crackling the first thing you do is recalculate more silica into the formula.
Completely amazed by this video and all the science and learning our human species has put together in the last several hundred years maybe thousands upon thousands to get here. just a pleasure and a privilege to be part of this current human race :-) Be blessed!
Hey, question for anyone who knows. Once the sodium silicate is mixed with water than dried into silicon dioxide, what happens when water is introduced again? I assume it is not soluable? Thats why it is used as a sealant? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question.
It ain't dumb. Not asking is. It stays dry, and repels water. Plasticized concrete uses it.
I am also questioning, can sodium silicate act like waterproofing agent for plaster of paris? I would use it for bathroom decoration
Your question has just sent me on a 1-hour spiral into chemical handbooks, chem-company advertisements, research papers, Wikipedia and Google hell in general.
Here's my best shot at the answer:
1. If you just took pure sodium silicate (and NOTHING ELSE), poured it into an inert container, and heated it... you'd eventually get a glassy brick of anhydrous sodium silicate... which WOULD be soluble and would turn right back into waterglass if you added water.
2. If you took sodium silicate and poured it into the same container, but added an ACID or ALKALINE catalyst, THEN heated it.... you'd eventually get a glassy brick of GLASSIFIED SILICA GEL (w/ sodium-bound byproducts)... which WOULD NOT be soluble.
Now the one part that confused me - and probably confused you too - is why, then, does waterglass turn "glassy" (i.e. #2) when painted onto cement-like surfaces?
Best I can tell, there are two reactions - at least with Portland cement - which removes the sodium and makes the silica turn hard and glassy:
a. One is where the Waterglass absorbs surplus Carbon Dioxide from the cement mixture; The Silica turns into Silica Gel Glass (as above), and the Sodium turns into Sodium Carbonate.
b. The other - and far more common / reliable - is when the Waterglass reacts with Calcium Hydroxide (the key component in Portland Cement) in an Alkaline Reaction to split into Silica Gel Glass and Lye (Sodium Hydroxide). I would assume at this point that the Lye is either reabsorbed into the cement and possible reacted with other minerals within, or precipitates out of the Silica Gel Glass layer to later be washed away.
Notice that waterglass does NOT 'dry' on Chickens' Eggs -> that's why you're supposed to leave them in solution. Chickens' Eggs are Calcium Carbonate. They have no surplus CO2 nor Ca(OH)2 to donate to the waterglass to 'glassify' it.
It does not dry into silicon dioxide. It dries to become sodium metasilicate. When water is reintroduced it dissolves and becomes liquid again. It becomes a sealant when it reacts with calcium bearing materials forming calcium silicate, which is insoluable.
@@aikonlatigid With plaster of paris, Yes.
Sodium silicate is present to dishwashing and clothes washing detergent where. It seals the microscopic cracks in porcelain dishes, the coating inside dishwashers, and the tub in clothes washers. This prevents rust from staining the clothes. Sodium silicate is mixed with cement used in oil field cementing to make a lighter density cement slurry where this is needed to prevent damage to weak formations near the surface. It is used to help seal off "lost circulation" zones in wells by first pumping in sodium silicate (water glass) liquid, then followed with calcium chloride. When the CaCl2 hits the waterglass it immediately precipitates calcium silicate, which is insoluable, and leaves a crystalline matrix that cement can be pumped into, sealing off the troublesome formation. In dry (granular form) it is known as sodium metasilicate. When this is mixed with water it becomes "waterglass". It has a viscosity like Karo Syrup. Like that it will freeze at only 50*F, so the tanks it is stored in have to be heated in the winter to keep is liquid. Sodium silicate (waterglass) will harden egg shells and seal the shells. The reaction is with the calcium in the egg shell, making a coating of insoluable calcium silicate. It is a food safe material.
Hi there. many thanks for taking the time to add to the sodium silicate knowledge base. It is very much appreciated. Warm regards, Ed
now i am using it as a catalyst in pyrolysis 😀
Great info. money cant buy. Thanks.
Can this be used in as coat in waterproofing old cement+Sand+ Lime slab? My 65 year bungalow is leaking, Please either Environ Molds or an expert suggest me a remedy. I will remain thankful for the remedy.
Don't not use on exterior where weather will wear it away. Use for indoors sealing.
@@EnvironMolds Thanks a lot for your prompt advice. Great.
Would this be suitable to use as a rigidizer on ceramic wool insulation to be used in a melting furnace? Thanks.
Yes most definetly.
İd like to use sodium silicate to seal my pizza oven, nyone know if this safe for food?
Sodium silicate is food safe. It is used to seal and harden egg shells.
As kids, we used a lot of it as paper glue, no issues. However, one dried up it vitrifies - cracks and chips. I wouldn't use close to food
Water glass is also used for soft gemstone hardening. Like opals and turquoise.

Great vid. I make a bit for casting and pottery. It’s amazing to watch its defloculate capacity. but I didn’t know it was so versatile. I’m gonna make a T shirt.
The images shown of the crackles is false, it makes more like fissures. Idk how to explain it clearly but if you google it youll see the effects it has
Great video!!!
In such very interesting videos practical DIY do it yourself information is always not given. Some of these interesting uses must be properly done by video makers and shown on their videos for us to follow practically.
Yours is an excellent suggestion for another video. But the purpose of this videos was to show the many uses of sodium silicate, not how to use it. Many thanks for taking the time to comment.
When I started watching I thought, oh simple thing this Sodium Silicate ... but damn it is like metal, plastic, or fossil fuels nearly essential in our current processes and industries.
amazing.. and love it
Yes, you can add it. But over time it will become less effective at resisting moisture
Sodium silicate and potassium silicate are both silicate compounds, but they differ in their chemical composition, properties, and applications. Here's a comparison of the two:
1. Chemical Composition
Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3): Composed of sodium oxide (Na2O) and silica (SiO2).
Potassium Silicate (K2SiO3): Composed of potassium oxide (K2O) and silica (SiO2).
2. Solubility
Sodium Silicate: Highly soluble in water, forming a viscous, alkaline solution.
Potassium Silicate: Also soluble in water, but typically less viscous and slightly less alkaline than sodium silicate solutions.
3. pH and Alkalinity
Sodium Silicate: Tends to have a higher pH (more alkaline) in solution compared to potassium silicate.
Potassium Silicate: Slightly lower pH, making it less alkaline and potentially less caustic.
4. Applications
Sodium Silicate:
Adhesives and Binders: Used in making cardboard, paper, and refractory materials.
Construction: Used in concrete treatment, as a soil stabilizer, and in fireproofing.
Water Treatment: Acts as a corrosion inhibitor and is used in water softening.
Detergents: Used in cleaning products for its ability to break down oils and fats.
Potassium Silicate:
Agriculture: Used as a fertilizer and plant protectant. It strengthens plant cell walls, making plants more resistant to diseases and pests.
Coatings: Used in high-temperature coatings and paints, especially for metal protection.
Fireproofing: Similar to sodium silicate, it's used in fireproofing applications.
Construction: Used in mortars, cements, and concrete to improve durability.
5. Reactivity
Sodium Silicate: More reactive with acids, leading to faster setting times in certain applications, such as in grouting and sealing.
Potassium Silicate: Less reactive than sodium silicate, which can be advantageous in situations where a slower reaction time is needed.
6. Environmental Impact
Sodium Silicate: Generally considered safe for the environment, but its higher alkalinity can be more corrosive to both skin and materials.
Potassium Silicate: Also environmentally safe, but its lower alkalinity makes it slightly safer to handle and less corrosive.
7. Cost
Sodium Silicate: Typically cheaper and more widely available.
Potassium Silicate: Usually more expensive due to its specialized applications, particularly in agriculture and high-performance coatings.
Summary
Sodium Silicate is more commonly used in industrial applications where cost-effectiveness and strong alkaline properties are needed.
Potassium Silicate is preferred in agriculture and specific industrial applications where lower alkalinity and less corrosiveness are advantageous.
The choice between the two often depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as reactivity, pH, and environmental considerations.
Excellent information
Thanks a lot for this.
sir
Could you please let me know how to make terrace waterproofing with silicate and calcium hydroxide mixture
What's the percentage of the solution as supplied? Before we go mixing it with ratios of other stuff.
Would it be useful for a damp basement concrete floor by keeping the moisture below from entering?
olny if you could apply it on the bottom side of the concrete otherwise the concrete will still get saturated
@J d Apparently not , the concrete already contains the silicate ! as said in the video . Concrete emanates cold and therefore creates moisture .
One option might be to add a layer of somekind of lime putty to the floor , which absorbs moisture, so that it can be dried by the air;
Unlike concrete and modern plaster etc , which creates moisture and holds onto it ..
Could i use sodium silicate to seal a terracotta grill?

How sodium silicate glass bonding works ?
can i use it for styrofoam waterproofing? Especially salt water?
I know your comment is old, but in case anyone else is wondering: Yes, you can use it for that. Just be advised that it is very brittle so if you plan on using it on styrofoam or the like, it will crack if the styrofoam is damaged by pressure or in other ways.
But overall has been used in professional settings for aquarium backgrounds historically.

I've been using store bought salt crystals to do weed control. I am wondering if salt crystals will also cause soft sugar sand in Florida to be more firm and stable for driving over?
His chemistry is crap, it's sodium hydroxide. Not chloride that is used to form sodium silicate.
I'm a Potter. This video is correct that it's used for crackle effect but what they're showing is not crackle effect LOL they're showing cracking in glazes which is nothing to do with sodium silicate. It's bizarre that the person that made this video would not have researched it correctly and got the correct pictures
@J d are you just a bad troll or an asshole? Or both? Again they show a glaze effect of crackle and attributed to water glass which has nothing to do with the picture they show. That particular crackle effect is caused by the makeup of the glaze and I can assure you it is not water glass that's added. Typically you get that effect with abundance of nepheline syenite and they lack of silica. Sodium silicate would actually prevent the crackle effect that they show in the image provided.
Sodium silicate is used on the clay body itself to crack the clay body not the glaze as shown in the picture. So someone that is new to Pottery is going to try and get that glaze effect which is desirable an attempt to use sodium silicate on the clay body as Illustrated and the two things are totally different techniques. To call this a great video when there's a glaring are like that it's pretty fucking stupid.
Also it's more accurate for them to have said carbon dioxide causes sodium silicate AKA water glass to harden but they do not add that information they say heat causes it which is inaccurate. I don't understand why smart-ass people have to be contrary to every comment that is not placating a video creator. Are you the creator of this video or a friend? If so tell your friend to fix their fucking video it's incorrect and misleading
It's AI created and narrated.
Would this have a negative effect on a diesel engine if added to diesel?

Very cool..
I need to know if the sand blast on wind shield.
so what would be the effect of mixing sodium silicate into cement to make concrete? Seems it would make a harder and naturally more less porous concrete?
it acts as a deflocculant in the mix, causing the cement to be more watery. this might be helpful in some instances, but could also cause the aggregate to settle out in an unfortunate way.
@@jon_byler so essentially it acts as a plasticizer. So in that case all that's needed is managing the ratio properly to get just the right amount of slump wouldn't you say?
I use pepsi or coke or molasses where i can get it.
@@jussayinmipeece1069 plasticizer is the wrong way of thinking about it. it is a -deflocculant. it means less water is needed to provide a fluid mix. This can really screw you up if you mix your concrete by sight/feel, rather than weighing ingredients. It has uses when trying to cast concrete/mortar and get it to fill more easily all of the voids in a mold. might be helpful for grouting (filling the holes in) concrete masonry units. A more experienced and knowledgeable mason or concrete engineer could tell you better if it's a good idea for a particular application. There are other defloccuants out there that are less alkaline, based on other chemistry, etc.
@@jon_byler actually its just different ways of saying the same thing. An additive that reduces the friction between the solid components, breaks the surface tension of the liquids allowing the mixture to flow and mix better with less water.
The technical name i have always seen is plasticizer. Generally unless you are casting critical components such as bridges and columns for high-rises then the amount does not have to be critically mixed. Eyeballing and experience is usually enough to a certain extent.
Say for example i am doing a mix for a suspended slab for a roof 6 inches thick. For every batch with 5 bags of cement i pour one one liter of regular coke or a pint of molasse with one 2 pounds of fibre.
In this case i am looking for THREE things flow into small crevices, (so less voids and air) compactness and longer initial curing time.
So the net result is that the additive will have no deleterious effect on the actual concrete once its cured but it will slow water evaporation allowing for the chemical formulation of concrete BEFORE it runs out of water leading to cracks.
Can you please explain the use of sodium silicate either liquid or sold form application over concrete roof as a barrier for prevent waterproofing purpose in details.
Sodium silicate must be used indoors on concrete. As it will wash out due to weather if used out of doors.
I am too interested to know if someone breifs in details
Super
Would this stuff seal a hole in a pipe if u hit it with a torch to heat it up?
Hi can you tell me one thing, can I use this water on old fashion tiles ???
Ceramic Tiles.... Same effect as the Pottery with the "age" cracks. Both ceramic and kiln dried. Then again it all depends on the ratio of the mixture also. Tis a great sealer...why not.
Pop Thank you very much
Thanks for this revelation.
You say to use sodium silicate one part add three part water if Am not wrong.
How much would be required in a bag of cement?
Sodium silicate is applied to the surfaces of cured concrete. So of course it depends on how much surface area you get from a bag of cement
Can sodium silicate be used as fixative in fabric dyeing proces. To fix color and prevent bleeding?
i was just reading about how this is used in batik making.
I made a small batch to seal brass shot shells, seems to work fine for that
Can Sodim Silicate be use as silicone to seal glass , wood , steel ? If you can ? Why cant we seal doors , windows in flooded area ?
No. It will not react with any of those materials. It is not like silicone caulk, not a thick gel. Mixed with water, "waterglass", it has a viscosity like Karo Syrup.
Does water glass work as a disinfectant and or kill bacteria and viruses as well as fungus?
Sodium silicate "water glass" is not a disinfectant.
It's possible that it's high alkalinity could have an effect on viruses, even mold, under certain conditions according to various studies
I wonder how it compares to potassium silicate.

I have a question there regarding the use of Sodium Silicate. I make my own dishwasher detergent using self-made non foaming soap + Na2CO3/NaHCO3 and some other ingredients. So it is alkaline which can corrode some metals inside of the dishwasher after a while. Socium Silicate is also alkaline but has anti-corrosive effects. Which would blend perfectly into my materials. The only question is: how to blend? How to mix at which amounts?
Thanks in advance!
So sorry though we supply sodium silicate we do not have access to all the formulas it is used for.
@@CapeCrystalBrands anyway, thanks for the fast response :)
I will find out
look up the MSDS sheet for comercial products and see how much is in them. it will give you a good starting point to experiment.
Is SS conductive or non-conductive?🤔
Non-conductive "to some degree". It may be resistive in MoHm though.
Where can we buy that? Amazon has a 40%solution-will that work? What’s the concentration of the product shown here?
Yes. As water evaporates it polymerizes into metasilicate. At 40% it is still liquid

1 cup
Just one thing, NaCl is NOT what is used, it wont react with silica. NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is what is used.

hi Can I use this on Blown Head Gasket Engine... Appreciate the Reply .....Thank you
Liquid glass can be added to a coolant system on a vehicle to seal leaks caused by a blown head gasket. It is a sodium silicate that crystallizes in cracks when it dries, providing a temporary barrier and is most effective when used on cars with iron cylinder heads.
Environ Molds Thank you so much...
CRC and other mfgs contain this Sodium Silicate, but be sure to flush your antifreeze completely or you will lock up the waterjackets.
chrispompano so the crystals plug the hole then the rest has to be flushed or it causes problems? How long do the crystals keep the hole plugged for on average? It’s a temporary bandaid then.
A new head gasket is the best solution
So how could I make an SiO2 Spray, such as used in the handheld electronics industry for screen protection (liquid glass), and the automotive industry for paint protection? Is this the same thing as water glass, since sodium silicate when mixed with water, then dries as SiO2? Or is there some other vehicle that it needs to be added to instead, such as methanol or an alcohol? Thank you!
Or even ethanol?
Transkryption I was too young to know.Maybe they were used for baking would be interesting to try.Food must have been a nightmare for housewives.We got essentials but glad to have large gardens to supplement rations.There weren't many obese people then maybe rationing should be brought back now?

Indeed, I've fooled with this remarkable amphoteric material and found that it can be used as a nucleating agent, in the proper sequence and set of solvents and surfactants.
Wow!
8:31 What an odd graphic. It basically shows that you expect the relative usage of Na2SiO3 to be exactly the same in 2024 as in 2015. Why would you think that, and why would it be important enough to emphasize in that way?
I was also surprized that there is no gain expected
Wow.
Can I use sodium silicate for agriculture? look like fertilizer or not.
With use on soil sodium silicate is used as a soil binder on slopes to reduce erosion as it holds soils together.
What is effect of sodium silicate on plant? I focus to sodium silicate for using in agriculture and plant growth. (sorry about my English)
