Used in water treatment to control corrosion in metal pipes by forming a protective silicate layer on internal surfaces and to aid in coagulation and precipitation of impurities and heavy metals. Commonly applied in municipal drinking water systems to reduce lead and copper leaching from plumbing materials. Also utilized in industrial cooling systems to prevent scale formation and enhance heat transfer efficiency.

Acts as a buffering agent in cleaning formulations and detergents, contributing to pH control, corrosion prevention in machinery, and overall stability.

Employed as an adhesive and binder in the paper and textile industries to increase strength and durability. Serves as a precursor in the production of silicate glass and refractory materials.

Used in concrete and cement treatment to improve durability, resistance to weathering, moisture, and chemicals.

Found in agricultural formulations to supply bioavailable silicon to plants, enhancing cell wall strength and resistance to pests and diseases.
