Products Description of Sodium fluorosilicate CAS#16893-85-9
Sodium fluorosilicate appears as white crystals, crystalline powder, or colorless hexagonal crystals. It is odorless and tasteless, with a relative density of 2.68 and the ability to absorb moisture. It dissolves in solvents like ethyl ether but is insoluble in alcohol; its solubility in acid is higher than in water. It decomposes in alkaline solutions to form sodium fluoride and silica, and when heated (seared) to 300°C, it breaks down into sodium fluoride and silicon tetrafluoride.

Product Application of Sodium fluorosilicate CAS#16893-85-9
Sodium hexafluorosilicate has diverse applications across water treatment, materials, chemical synthesis, and industrial processes. It is used as an additive for water fluoridation, a raw material for opal glass, and an agent in ore refining. It also serves as a precursor for producing other fluoride compounds, including sodium fluoride, sodium hexafluoroaluminate, potassium hexafluorosilicate, ammonium fluoride, and calcium fluoride. Additionally, it is applied as a flotation agent, a component in wet etching, a wood preservative, a brazing flux, and a welding compound—and it acts as an active ingredient in concrete.
