Sodium silicate, commonly known as foam [1] alkali, is a water-soluble silicate, and its aqueous solution is commonly known as water glass, which is a mineral binder. Its chemical formula is R2O·nSiO2, where R2O is an alkali metal oxide, and n is the ratio of the number of moles of silica to the number of alkali metal oxides, which is called the number of moles of water glass. The commonly used water glass in construction is an aqueous solution of sodium silicate. (Na2O·nSiO2)
